Sugar Man(Live At The Philharmonic) - Kris Kristofferson
Written by:Kris Kristofferson
There are shadows on the sidewalks
Of the city streets at night
The alleyways and ugly things
Are hidden from the light
And somewhere son my baby's
Gonna sell her soul again
For a custom tailored lady-killer
They call Sugar Man
I searched the backstreet barrooms
And every cheap hotel
Asking for my baby they all knew her well
Well they said she's out there working
For the wages of her sin
If you want to find your baby baby
Look for Sugar Man
Well tonight I found her
In the sorry side of town
Lying cold upon the bed
Where she had laid her body down
I picked up the needle that had fallen from her hand
And stuck it through the money she had made for Sugar Man
There are shadows on the sidewalks
Of the city streets at night
The alleyways and ugly things
Are hidden from the light
But the sun's gonna shine tomorrow
On some dirty gargage cans
And a custom tailored lady-killer
They called Sugar Man
