Sugarcane

She calls it sugarcane

And she says, and she says,

"Oh, but it tastes the same,

as Heaven", in her throat, as it drains

Strips off, her knee high socks

Plaid wool skirt, it won't hurt

Spreads lipstick on her

Full wide mouth

North and south

Painted nails

Reach for a smoke

And I have one more coke

Wired, Catholic, all girls school

You're so cool

So bored, you know

I'm not crazed

And I'm not mad

I'm just so sick

Of watching pretty girls

Doin' ugly things

Pretty girls, ugly things

3 o'clock

Girls come outta school

St. Teresa is a nice place for you

Get in the car and start to undress

Your face is quite a pretty mess

And I just take your hand

"How are you today?"

And I'm facin' what you say

"Hi... Oh, I'm fine."

"But I'd be just a little more..."

"If I could get..."

"Oh, can I get?"

"What I need..."

"Oh please, can I get..."

"Just a little more?"

Sarah

You spilled the tequila

You just laugh and say

"It was all dead weight; won't get us straight"

Mom and dad, away from home

We're on their bed, between the mirror

You just grin

She calls it sugarcane
