Sugar Bullets - The Stranglers

Hey Chairman have you heard the news

The red man just got the blues

From sucking on sugar bullets

Hey Chairman look over the wall

The little man is walking tall

From sucking on sugar bullets

Well I never thought I’d see

The sun set in the East

Or the walls come tumbling down

So let us drink to missing friends

And call them to the feast

We’ll bury the broken bones

Under the precious stone

And it just goes to show

Nobody knows what’s in the future

And it just goes to show

Nobody knows at all

Hey Chairman don’t look now

The new man will not kow tow

He’s sucking on sugar bullets

I threw the coins last night

Broken lines in a blood red sky

And someone loading sugar bullets

Repeat chorus

The black queen with the ivory smile

The wild dog and the mystery smile

Are sucking on should be bullets

So Chairman don’t feel bad

We think of the fun you’re gonna have

Sucking those sugar bullets
