Doughnut Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Had me a trick and a kick and your message
You'll never gain weight from a doughnut hole
Then thought that I could decipher your message
There's no one here, dear
No one at all
And if I'm wasting all your time this time
Maybe you never learned to take
And if I'm hanging on to your shade
I guess I'm way beyond the pale
And southern men can grow gold
(You can tell me it's over)
Can grow pertty
(It's over)
Blood can be pertty
(You can tell me)
Like a delicate man
(Over, over your shoulder)
Copper to steel to a hinge that is faltered
(You can tell me it's over, it's over)
That lets you in, lets you in, lets you in
(Come in Houston)
And if I'm wasting all your time this time
Maybe you never learned to take
And if I'm hanging on to your shade
I guess I'm way beyond the pale
Something's just
Something's just keeping you numb
You told me last night you were a sun now
With your very own devoted satellite
Happy for you
And I am sure that I hate you
Two sons too many, too many able fires
Hey, yes
And you've been wasting all my time this time
(You can tell me it's over, I saw you)
I said you never learned to take
(You can tell me, over, over your shoulder)
And if I'm hanging on to your shade
I guess I'm way beyond the pale
I guess I'm way beyond the pale
Had me a trick and a kick and your message
You'll never gain weight from a doughnut hole
