Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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?
[Chorus]
Silver magic ships, you carry
Jumper's coke, sweet Mary Jane
[Verse 2]
Sugar man, met a false friend
On a lonely dusty road
Lost my heart, when I found it
It had turned to dead black coal
[Chorus]
Silver magic ships, you carry
Jumper's coke, sweet Mary Jane
[Verse 3]
Sugar man, you're the answer
That makes my questions disappear
Sugar man, 'cause I'm weary
Of those double games I hear
[Refrain]
Sugar man
Sugar man
Sugar man
Sugar man
Sugar man
Sugar man
Sugar man
[Verse 4]
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?
[Chorus]
Silver magic ships, you carry
Jumper's coke, sweet Mary Jane
[Verse 5]
Sugar man, met a false friend
On a lonely dusty road
Lost my heart, when I found it
It had turned to dead black coal
[Chorus]
Silver magic ships, you carry
Jumper's coke, sweet Mary Jane
[Outro]
Sugar man, you're the answer
That makes my questions disappear
