Honey White
Morphine Lyrics

Honey white, honey white
Repeatedly stating the color of honey to indicate its purity and sweetness

Honey white
Reiterating the color of honey to create a sense of anticipation

Made a deal for some angel food
She negotiated with someone to obtain purity and goodness

Honey white, honey white
Re-emphasizing the honey's purity and sweetness

Everybody told her it was sweet and good yea
People encouraged her to try it, insisting that it was a wonderfully positive experience

Oh honey, oh honey, Oh honey, oh honey
Addressing the listener, suggesting that they will also experience the same delight in the near future

She said you'll see me later yea you'll see me later
She promised to return for more.

Will you see me later seemed all too soon
The request seemed urgent and in the moment

And then he smiles he knows honey's coming back
He is aware she will want more of the sweetness

Honey's going to want some more angel food
She will crave the sweetness again.

Devil made of honey, devil made of honey
Suggesting the deal for the angel food wasn't as innocent or pure as it seemed.

Devil made of honey, devil made of honey
Repeating the earlier line to stress the same point

She said you'll get me when I'm old and wizened
She made a promise to pay him back when she was older and more experienced.

And not a day before that
She will not accept the angel food again until she's older.

The devil said honey it won't be that long
The forces of temptation tried to convince her that she wouldn't have to wait that long before she could have more sweetness.

Besides I like to see a little more fat
The tempter was desirous of more intoxicating effects on her body.

Yea I like to see a little more fat, You know I like to see a little more fat
The statement is being repeated to emphasize the interest in producing an excess reaction in her body.

Honey white, honey white, Honey white, honey white
Repeating the earlier line to remind the listener of the pure sweetness of honey.

Tell me how is your angel food
Asking the listener how well they're enjoying the great sweetness.

Honey white oh honey white, She says it's sweet and good
The listener reported that the angel food still tastes sweet and good.

Uh honey white
Reiterating the sweetness of honey and the expected satisfaction of having more

The sweetness starts to fade
The sweet effect of the angel food is starting to wane.

Honey white, honey white, Thought you could get away
The earlier sweetness is no longer present.

Poor honey, poor honey, Poor honey, poor honey
It's time for the honey to feel the absence of the sweetness.
