Sugar Shiva

Have you seen her, my Sugar Shiva?
Have you been there, a true believer?

Chimes and elves - they sit on her shelves
with books and stars and honey jars
and bells and shells and creatures with tails
dripping love from day-glo pails.

Have you seen her, my Sugar Shiva?
Have you been there, a true believer?

(And its all alright...)

In a liquid light, leaking from space
through atomic glasses, I saw her face
a vision of truth, sticky with grace
and skin so blue I could nearly taste it.

Have you seen her, my Sugar Shiva?
Have you been there, a true believer?

(And its all alright...)

The night she came, she gave me a name
that I keep to myself and tell no one else.
She skinned me alive and in the heat I dried
and dipped me in wax and left no tracks.

Have you seen her, my Sugar Shiva?
Have you been there, a true believer?

(And its all alright...)
