When the moral is rotten
and the cause forgotten,
a letter is sent
to the dessert's end.

And as you are reading,
memory kicks in,
of what you must do
and who did the sending.

This is the story of an elderly gentleman who succumbed to the charms of a beautiful young woman and was only used by her for her own ends.

S U G A R   D A D D Y

Such a big disappointment
I feel like I´m being used
as I´m sitting here in silence
just hurt and so confused

I wasn´t     much more than     your stepping stone
a stupid     sugar daddy     who paid it all alone

you made me     think we were     more than just friends
you took all     that I had     every song, every cent

INTRO

Such a great enchantment
your voice can make tough men cry
once you get the attention
your beauty blinds the guys

BRIDGE    ohohoho

CHORUS

INTRO

Such a huge illusion
all the promises you broke
among all guys you´ve been foolin'
I was just another bloke

BRIDGE   ohoho

Everything Must Go

Sugar Daddy  (Bye-Bye Paris Girl)

I fly between two paths
above or below
But I'm the one who decides
the course of my destiny

Don't let me be your servant
I don't want a number on my chest
Of this world I reserve
Power makes you wicked

What will be of me
(daddy)
this is how i want to be
I do not regret

the course of my destiny
the course of my destiny


And it's been a long time
And I feel the same pain
Today I went a little crazy
And I don't want your love anymore

Don't let me be your servant
I don't want a number on my chest
Of this world I reserve
Power makes you wicked


What will be of me
(daddy)
this is how i want to be
I do not regret
I do not regret

No Me Arrepiento

Lyrics

Get on the bus get on the bus, Get on the bus wlth us
c'mon c'mon get on the bus
There's Gus, who drives the bus and he does Everything for us
He's got the peddle down--

and all the band and larry mary sid and johnny too and that's to jjust to name a few
and all of you who have the eyes and ears to hear and see-
all of us are on that bus Telepathically
so you had better be ln the vicinity of the bus
whose designated destination ls infinity and all points ln between

Believe you me, there ls no comfort or relief ln Clarity
Truer words were never spoken and even though we're all broken
here's a little token of the love l'm feeling for the instant beauty of the moment

Everyone ls psychedelic from those purple Mlcrodots
Fuel ls burning under stars so bright
on the bus, 10 feet off the ground
blacktop slippin under us at half the speed of light

Now lt comes flowln down, lt washes over me
something l can hear, but l can't exactly see-
Cans are Blarin, l'm just starin
hearin things we can't believe
music soothin, lt's not Taxing so relaxing
making music with some friends of mine
making noises so Delightful-
on the bus, where betrayal ls the only thing
that's not allowed

Come along, you're all lnvlted to rlde the bus wlth us
get on the bus get on the bus
c'mon get on the bus
don't make a Fuss
Just get on the bus

(Spoken word samples are readings from The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe)

did it take some time after 
even as they did play?
did it take some time after 
or was it all just a laughter?
did it not take you by surprise
how my world wells with tears?
just thinking about it 
how the mess begins, darling 
how the mess, the mess begins, darling 

only there in the night 
when it starts to fall 
only there in the night 
do I see my fault 
only there in the night 
incognito deal 
only there in the night 
deliberate deal 
only there in the night 
reaction is served 
only in serving the cause of all causes 
only in serving the cause
does the dust settle 

how long will it take me
only to feel for you?
