adrianne blanks & the oracles - sugar lyrics

[verse 1]
on a small road off of oak street, in 1888
worked a buxom woman named sugar
who could always tell your fate
her shop was lined of fabrics of different jewel+toned hues
she had herbs and rare elixirs
her crystal ball looked like the moon
sugar loved theatrics, she could put on quite a show
for any problems, doubts, or queries
just ask sugar, she would know

sugar loved her life immensely
she made her rent just fine
but she had a thirst for money
she wanted lifе to be divine

one day at hеr shop, a big man bl+stered in
she was written for herself, but he had questions there and then
the man was taken with the room, but even more with her
between her plunging [?], stiletto nails and wavy long blonde hair
startled by the death+card, from a reading just before
thats not for you, she chuckled as it tumbled to the floor
on his hand she noted, no ring, which meant no spouse
he went to pay her, but she said “first time’s on the house!”
he asked her to dinner, friday after next
the two of them would supper at his hotel [?]
it wasn’t long before these two were thick as thieves
she’d advise him in his business, and they weren’t strangers in the sheets
but the coming weeks brought jitters, sugar couldn’t be a wife
she panicked at the thought of a domesticated life
she thought of her mama and her daddy did them wrong
so she would let the devil’s trumpet sing its own destructive song
remember sugar loved theatrics, and any stage would do
she gave his drink a little jimson weed and waited for her cue
the man he’d doubled over, at his own hotel event
sugar cried, “my betrothed!”, and his time on earth was spent

sugar waited for her ransom, as she took one day to grieve
now the hotel was her business thanks to a little jimson weed
but sugar blew through money, on the latest fashion trends
time to take another man and help him meet his end
she met a banker in chicago, and kept the scheme up four more times
after her fifth fiancée, she was satisfied

sugar retired from her life of poisoning men
but you’ll never know when sugar will take another victim again
