“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.”

“'Cause baby you're a firework,
Come on, show 'em what you're worth.
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y.Baby, you're a firework,
Come on, let your colors burst.
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em falling down-own-own.”

“You're a painter. You're a baker. You like to sleep with the windows open. You never take sugar in your tea. And you always double-knot your shoelaces.”

“If you're cold I'll keep you warm
If you're low just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home.”

“And it's bad news, I don't blame you
I do the same thing, I get lonely too
And you're bad news, my friends tell me to leave you
That you're bad news…”

“Is where you're from the place you're leaving or where you have roots?”

“Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.”

“The trouble, doll
Is not moving mountains, but
Digging the ground that you're on”

“And you're too nice," he added, above the lap-lap of the water and the patter of sand on the water-lily leaves. "I was relying on you being too jealous to let that demon near the place.”

“If you're quiet, you're not living. You've got to be noisy and colorful and lively.”
