Lonely feelin’ deep inside
Find a corner where I can hide
Silent footsteps crowdin’ me
Sudden darkness, but I can see
No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me
Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow no no
Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow
In the silence of her mind
Quiet movements, well, I can find
Grabbin’ for me with her eyes
Now I’m fallin’ from her skies
No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me
Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow un-dow-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow
Jocko says yes and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn’t got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they’re standin’ in each other’s way
You’re driven back now to places you’ve been to
You’re wonderin’ what you’re gonna find
You know you’ve been wrong but it won’t be long
Before you leave ’em all far behind
‘Cause it’s the new Mother Nature takin’ over
It’s the new splendid lady come to call
It’s the new Mother Nature takin’ over
She’s gettin’ us all
She’s gettin’ us all
Jocko said no when I came back last time
It’s lookin’ like I lost a friend
No use callin’ ’cause the sky is fallin’
And I’m gettin’ pretty near the end
A smoke-filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag o’ goodies and a bottle o’ wine
We’re gonna get it on right tonight
‘Cause it’s the new Mother Nature takin’ over
It’s the new splendid lady come to call
It’s the new Mother Nature takin’ over
She’s gettin’ us all
She’s gettin’ us all
Lonely feelin’
(Jocko says yes and I believe him)
Deep inside
(When we talk about the things I say)
Find a corner
(She hasn’t got the faith or the guts to leave him)
Where I can hide
(When they’re standin’ in each other’s way)
Silent footsteps
(You’re driven back now to places you’ve been to)
Crowdin’ me
(You’re wonderin’ what you’re gonna find)
Sudden darkness
(You know you’ve been wrong and it won’t be long)
But I can see
(Before you leave ’em all far behind)
‘Cause it’s the new Mother Nature takin’ over
It’s the new splendid lady come to call
It’s the new Mother Nature takin’ over
She’s gettin’ us all
She’s gettin’ us all
Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow no no
Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow
Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow no no
Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow
Da-un-do-dow dow
