Naughty But Nice

Beware of whats in front of you
Not everything appears true
Walking around sugar town

Sweet old lady living up the hill
Offers you a drink and slip in a pill
Invites you in when your feeling sick
Then kills you dead for her fix

Careful who you trust
Suspicion is a must
Walking around sugar town 

A group of kids play in the park
A closer look hits you hard
Misguided youths throwing knives 
With no respect for passerby

Things you see
You cannot believe 
Walking around sugar town

Security gaurd on street patrol
Mysteriously walking too slow
Looking for an unexpecting victim
To hit on the head and steal their things

Open your eyes and look hard
What you see will break your heart
Walking around sugar town

Young lovers cuddle on a bench 
Second looks witness needles stretched
Not playing an innocent game
Zombified idiots in drug shame

Dont always think its all nice
Naughtiness will take you by surprise
Walking around sugar town
