I've slept on cardboard
In November rain
Had to lay down
Where the fat rats have lain
Wherever I've lived
I have lived there in pain
But I'm gonna live on
Sugar Mountain
From now on
I'm gonna live on Sugar Mountain
I've stolen eggs
And then I've swallowed them raw
Lived for a week
On a dry apple core
I once ate the sawdust
Off an old pub floor
But I'm gonna eat on
Sugar Mountain
From now on
I'm gonna eat on Sugar Mountain
Sugar Mountain
Where the Rock Stars go
When they hit the charts
And let their egos grow
Sugar Mountain
It's so lush and cool
You float on Valium
In your swimming pool
I've been a Christian
And I've served the good Lord
Now I'll move on
And I will get my reward
My name on a hundred
Foot high billboard
Right on the top of
Sugar Mountain
I can see it
Right on the top of Sugar Mountain
Where there are record deals
And monumental plans
And no one squeals
Except the fan
Yeah, I'm gonna live on
Sugar Mountain
I'm gonna live on Sugar Mountain.
