Heron

I spend inordinate amounts of time
Looking at pretty faces in magazines
Playing as though it's for the dresses and the jeans

All night long (sugar, sugar, sugar)
All night long (sugar, sugar, sugar)
All night long
For sugar and Heron
All night long (sugar, sugar, sugar)
All night long (sugar, sugar, sugar)
All night long
For sugar and Heron

Heron woke with a mean thirst for coffee
He was halfway there
So he stopped for the magazine
Learned anything he could from everything he found to read

In she walked with perpetual appeal
All legs and heels, you know it
He said, "What are you looking for?
You've got everything you need"

Tell mе what you want, are you restless?
Lеt me take the sorrow from these eyes with hugs and kisses
You like electric guitar, playing wherever you are
Have you been to the Parthenon?
Have you been to India?
Have you been to Manchester?

Ain't it the letting go
That really matters?

I spend inordinate amounts of time
Looking at pretty faces in magazines
Playing as though it's for the dresses and the jeans

Now that you're promising me the world
Take me so I can taste its promise for real
I wanna know exactly how it feels

Heron says, "You've come to the right place
You like electric guitar, playing wherever you are
Have I been to the Parthenon?
Have I been to Africa?
Have you heard of Salif Keita?
Have you been to the Riven Seine?
Heard the devil in the work of Skip James?"

Ain't it the letting go
That really matters?

I spend inordinate amounts of time
Looking at pretty faces in magazines
(All night long, all night long, all night long)
I spend inordinate amounts of time
Looking at pretty faces in magazines
(Pretty faces, pretty faces)
Inordinate amounts of time

Not being funny, it's an odd way out
What's a good door for if not to shut a person out?
Put a record on, maybe say you'll be the only one
I'm sweet talking you, words calm like an old song

What happens in the dark will always come to light (all night long)
And we'd do anything we hoped for in the dead of night (all night long)
There'll be no final affair with some perceptual emotion (all night long)
But damn it girl you make me dance like an old song (for sugar and Heron)
