Sugar Head Pie

orange strawberry and banana
i think i'm going to ride out to montana
don't they have something there they call the range?
there must be a hat or some other funny thing

and we could dress up and ride the buffalo
with high heels and feathers in the snow
and lots of people coming down the escalators holding envelopes
but i grab my friend and we hid under the boat

we used reeds as breathing tubes
and up on land we wore trees as camouflage
and down from the sky a buzzard with a mini-skirt
he dropped down a rope
and we climbed it high

now, won't you come and play sugar head pie
won't you come and play sugar head pie
won't you come and play sugar head pie with me
yeh with me - oh with me

and it make the hours feel like candy hands
giving us pushes on satin rides
and our eyelids gold dusted
and our eyes
with one dazzling look can break the hour glass - oh yes
and steal uh the sands of time
just like the young and the restless
well were not young but we're restless

and turquoise water with cherry buds
i got enough old wrappers to make a coat
and we just need a propeller and a box labeled soap suds
and maybe science is something I'll never know
but baby what we got here is a bona fide show and dontcha know
i love the plays put on for animals and the moose is drinking something
with an umbrella and the racoon's always been a ladies fella

and you're all dressed up like henry the eighth and i never learned my roman numerals
and all the pigeons came in late still wearing their work out clothes
and maybe there are phones in offices ringing but nobody here
cares or knows........

so won't you come and play sugar head pie
won't you come and play sugar head pie
won't you come and play sugar head pie
with me - yeah with me - oh with me

there's no check in the mail but we can try
and take some eggshells to the bank
try to convince the teller- just take a break
and play the guard in a mexican jail
whose married to jesus but full of lust
for that aztec beauty escorted right off the bus
well i don't have it all figured out yet but that'll come......

if you just come and play
sugar head pie
sugar head pie
sugar head pie
sugar head pie
sugar head pie with me


yeah there's a lot of work to be done
but i ain't good at any of um

so wontcha come and play sugar head pie with me
