Oh, to live on sugar mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can't be twenty on sugar mountain
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon
You're leaving there too soon
It's so noisy at the fair, but all your friends are there
And the candy floss you had and your mother and your dad.
Oh, to live on sugar mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can't be twenty on sugar mountain
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon
You're leaving there too soon
There's a girl just down the aisle, oh to turn and see her
smile
You can hear the words she wrote as you read the hidden
note.
Oh, to live on sugar mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can't be twenty on sugar mountain
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon
You're leaving there too soon
Now you're underneath the stairs, and you're giving back
some glares
To the people who you met, and it's your first cigarette.
Oh, to live on sugar mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can't be twenty on sugar mountain
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon
You're leaving there too soon
Now you say you're leaving home, 'cause you want to be alone
Ain't it funny how you feel when you're finding out it's
real.
Oh, to live on sugar mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can't be twenty on sugar mountain
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon
You're leaving there too soon
