Sugar Town Lyrics

Raining, raining, raining. Rain in sugar town. [x2]

A new day dawns across the tracks,
tile by tile the chimney stacks.
A city steeped in history
but so much pain and misery.
Rain on me, rain hard and long.
Faith of our fathers makes `em strong.
Rain on me, rain hard and long.
Rain down on the place that I belong.

[chorus]
`Cos it`s just another night in sugar town.
And the rain is falling down in sugar town.

"I`m alright", I say to Jack,
"just get this monkey off my back."
Sugar town in urban light -
people got no cash and it don`t seem right.
Blue light fever, downtown crash.
One man`s treasure, one man`s trash.
Rain on me, rain hard and long.
Rain down on the place that I belong.

[chorus] [x2]

I don`t ask a lot, all I want is one god shot. [x2]
I work and work, prepare myself.
Wait all my life and lose my health.
From a file to the brain cold steel more rain.
Rain, rain, rain.

Raining, raining, raining. Rain in sugar town. [x2]

Muscle man with bully boy plan.
Catch us baby if you can.
Streets of gold, oh streets of gold -
asleep on concrete, feels so cold.
Rain on me, rain hard and long - rain. [x2]

Raining, raining, raining. Rain in sugar town. [x4]

Rain on me, rain hard and long - rain. [x4]

Raining, raining, raining, raining. [x2]
