Lonely feeling deep inside
Find a corner where I can hide
Silent footsteps crowding me
Sudden darkness, but I can see
[Chorus]
No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me
In the silence of her mind
Quiet movements, well, I can find
Grabbing for me with her eyes
Now I'm falling from her skies
[Chorus]
NEW MOTHER NATURE
Jocko says yes and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standing in each other's way
You're driven back now to places you've been to
You're wondering what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave them all far behind
[Chorus 2]
Cause it's the new Mother Nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new Mother Nature taking over
She's getting us all
She's getting us all
Jocko said no when I came back last time
It's looking like I lost a friend
No use calling cause the sky is falling
And I'm getting pretty near the end
A smoke-filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine
We're gonna get it on right tonight
[Chorus 2]

Lonely feeling
Jocko says yes and I believe him
Deep inside
When we talk about the things I say
Find a corner
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
Where I can hide
When they're standing in each other's way
Silent footsteps
You're driven back now to places you've been to
Crowding me
You're wondering what you're gonna find
Sudden darkness
You know you've been wrong and it won't be long
But I can see
Before you leave 'em all far behind
[Chorus 2]
Find a corner where I can hide
Silent footsteps crowding me
Sudden darkness, but I can see
[Chorus]
No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me
In the silence of her mind
Quiet movements, well, I can find
Grabbing for me with her eyes
Now I'm falling from her skies
[Chorus]
NEW MOTHER NATURE
Jocko says yes and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standing in each other's way
You're driven back now to places you've been to
You're wondering what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave them all far behind
[Chorus 2]
Cause it's the new Mother Nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new Mother Nature taking over
She's getting us all
She's getting us all
Jocko said no when I came back last time
It's looking like I lost a friend
No use calling cause the sky is falling
And I'm getting pretty near the end

Why is he alone? Tell me that, and *then* I'll eat you.
It's annoying though, how many radio stations leave out the "New Mother Nature" portion.
Probably the best song by the Guess Who.
