get out of that bed in your attic room
clean all the dust off your mirage
hopin' that someone gonna find you soon
ain't gonna help one bit at all

you don't look as good as you could yeah
it ain't like it should but it would
you just gotta put it on

put on that sugar coat and let's dance the blues
oh-oh you sweet thing
seems like so long ago you'd never lose
that sugar coat means everything

now baby, listen to what I say
stop dreamin' those rainbows on your wall
remember your glory box?
the ring that you once wore?
babe it didn't come easy
you had to work for what your lookin' for

it could be easy, better than what you think
you've killed before with your smile
ah come on baby draw the shades on the attic room
and don't forget to put your sugar coat on
