lyrics

G Em C G
Dan says the world will end in fire
Dan says hurricane season is coming
big clouds and a sky of black water
Louisiana’s raining fire

G Em C G
Greasy wallets
greasy fingers
well made faces
greasy feet

CHORUS:
G Em C G
All this Sugar
All this Sweetness
Ain’t got no bones left,
Ain’t got no teeth

BRIDGE:
Em C G C
Are the ghosts of the rigmen coming to you in your dreams?
fingers pointing fingers high above a dying sea
We all know that money is a sword
and you hold your money at the throat of the world

I hear it’s reached the mississippi
snaking its way into the heartland
old man river getting slicker and slicker
they’ll cut your heart out
if it tastes sweet

BRIDGE:
Em C G C
And I bet you don’t have good sex
when your blood’s all full of gold
too busy cashing checks
too busy keeping your heart so cold

CHORUS:
G Em C G
All this Sugar
All this Sweetness
Ain’t got no bones left,
Ain’t got no teeth
