Well, I didn't know I was just another Joe
Itching for distraction and they told me bout some action in the hills
They sugar in the hills

Now I'm way too blind in the jug of moonshine
I bet a more than little makes the billy feel the fiddle come alive
A billy my guide

Sugar Ballerina
Dance around the flame
Sugar Ballerina
Feel a tickle in the vein
Sugar Ballerina
Shake a bale of hay
Sugar Ballerina
My breath sweet as sugarcane

Backwards girls put their country in the curls
They freak around the fire
Cause insatiable desire
The flame gets fanned
There is utter pellmell in the clan
And a few began

Sugar Ballerina
Get in someone's soul
Sugar Ballerina
Come and hang your coat
Sugar Ballerina
It gets under your lips
Sugar Ballerina
A soliloquy of your hips

I... feel... fine...
Moonshine's alright
She... rocks... by the fire

I think I'll wear my sunday best
Keep her eyes off all the rest
My brother's getting jealous
And my cousin's full of malice
It's a huge careless scene
Everybody's getting mean
Did I tell you bout the bubble and the kid who lit the candle off of the hats
He's bubbling in the mats

Sugar Ballerina
Dance around the flame
Sugar Ballerina
Feel a tickle in the vein
Sugar Ballerina
Shake a bale of hay
Sugar Ballerina
My breath sweet as sugarcane
Sugar Ballerina
Dancing in our heads
Sugar Ballerina
Sinking in our beds
Sugar Ballerina
Honey in our veins
Sugar Ballerina
Even lept up on the flames
