Molasses

You are made of sugar, milk, and molasses
Oh, little darlin', you’ll attract all the bees
You are the gazer, you are the attraction
Takes a little vanity to know what it means
I know it 'cause you wrote it down a hundred times
But you say that you’re doing just fine
Say there’s something better
But today, there is a cold moon rising
And you wanted something better
But tonight, tonight you’re giving up
I asked a question, give me an answer
You’ll say the word and I will disappear
You’re running fast but you can run faster
Heels to the dirt, gonna make it clear
I know it 'cause you wrote it down a hundred times
But you say that you’re doing just fine
Say there’s something better
But today, there is a cold moon rising
And you wanted something better
But tonight, you know you’ll never find it
Say there’s something better
But today, there is a cold moon rising
And you wanted something better
But tonight, tonight you’re giving…
Darkness, you can’t hear me
I will try to draw you near me
But in the morning you will wake up alone
And when your body breaks
Even the hummingbirds will feel the earthquake
You’ll sing a song of your heart’s complaint
Sing it loud, sing it clear, oh, sing so I can hear you
Then sing it soft in my ear
Take it all or take half, pull me down in the grass
I’ll go anywhere with you
Say there’s something better
You don’t see it, you won’t find it
Say there’s something better
You’re behind it but you won’t get it
La da da da da da, la da da da da da
Say there’s something better
But today there is a cold moon rising
And you wanted something better
But tonight, you know you’ll never find it
La da da da da da, la da da da da da
Say there’s something better
You don’t see it, you won’t find it
Say there’s something better
You’re behind it but you won’t get it
