Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the Vermont Transit Bus
I leaned my arm into a little chink of sun
Going somewhere older than I was
Strapped into something tight, keepin' me small
I dug into you like rock climbing
Too scared of comin' down
Too scared of goin' up
Too scared of rockface
[Verse 2]
I should've split my sides or spilled my guts
Or hit you or somethin'
But I was good
And your father's little pancakes
So round and perfect
And me sittin' up too straight
Laughin' in wrong places
Kissin' you
Kissin' up
Kissin' too soon
[Verse 3]
When the cock crows
When the mornin' comes, where will I go?
When the cock crows
When the love is gone, where will I go?
[Verse 4]
And when you got me pregnant, I stopped the party
And I stopped the typewriter
And I stopped your dumb ball game in the red barn
And I stopped your father and bled instead
And I felt the lie
Ah, somethin' sticky on the inside
A bitter wind in my throat
Oh, stoppin' me wantin'
In my stomach
My head
And you said
[Verse 5]
Sugar, sugar, you couldn't come, come
Sugar, sugar, beat out your mother, mother
Sugar, sugar, you couldn't taste it
Sugar, sugar, in my throat
[Verse 6]
When the cock crows
When the mornin' comes, where will I go?
When the cock crows
When the love is gone, where will I go?
[Verse 7]
Sugar, sugar, you couldn't come, come
Sugar, sugar, we got your mother, mother
Sugar, sugar, you couldn't taste it
Sugar, sugar, in my throat
[Verse 8]
You couldn't, you couldn't taste it
You couldn't taste it
[Verse 9]
When the cock crows
When the mornin' comes, where will I go?
When the cock crows
When the love is gone, where will I go?
