Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I'm tired of these scenes
For a blue coin won't you bring back
All those colors to my dreams
Sugar man, won't you hurry
'Cause I'm tired of these scenes
For a blue coin won't you bring back
Sugar man
Sugar man
Sugar man
Sugar man
Silver magic ships you carry
Jumpers, coke, sweet Mary Jane
Sugar man, won't you hurry
'Cause I'm tired of these scenes
For a blue coin won't you bring back
All those colors to my dreams
Sugar man you're the answer
That makes my questions disappear
Sugar man
Sugar man
Sugar man
Bring back
Bring back
Bring back
Bring back
Bring back
All those colors to my dreams
Sugar man
Sugar man
Sugar man
Sugar man
