Doughnut Lyrics

I need nothing
I've everything I need
I walk along the dusty road
a doughnut in my hand

The sun is round and yellow
and shines upon my feet
I've walked a hundred yards
and I'm not the least bit tired

I need nothing
I've everything I need
I walk along the dusty road
a doughnut in my hand

The cloud is white upon the sky
as white as a woman's skin
I've walked another hundred yards
and I'm not the least bit tired

I need nothing
I've everything I need
I walk along the dusty road
a doughnut in my hand

I bumped into a dairy bush
With cows on every twig
I squeezed myself a glass of milk
and my thirst went up like smoke

I need nothing
I've everything I need
I walk along the dusty road a

I stumbled by a sailor
Who was lying by the road
I kissed his lips and made him wince
and then I stumbled on

I need nothing
I've everything I need
I walk along the dusty road
a doughnut in my hand

I spied a silken coffin
the lid was open wide
I wrapped my shirt
right round my legs
And laid down flat inside

I need nothing
I've everything I need
I lie upon the coffin
A doughnut in my hand

I need nothing, I need nothing
I need nothing, I need nothing

The Weight She Fell Under

I need nothing 
I've everything I need
I walk along the dusty road 
a doughnut in my hand

The sun is round and yellow 
and shines upon my feet
I've walked a hundred yards 
and I'm not the least bit tired

I need nothing 
I've everything I need
I walk along the dusty road 
a doughnut in my hand

The cloud is white upon the sky 
as white as a woman's skin
I've walked another hundred yards 
and I'm not the least bit tired

I need nothing 
I've everything I need
I walk along the dusty road
a doughnut in my hand

I bumped into a dairy bush
With cows on every twig 
I squeezed myself a glass of milk
and my thirst went up like smoke

I need nothing 
I've everything I need
I walk along the dusty road a

I stumbled by a sailor 
Who was lying by the road
I kissed his lips and made him wince 
and then I stumbled on

I need nothing
I've everything I need 
I walk along the dusty road 
a doughnut in my hand

I spied a silken coffin 
the lid was open wide
I wrapped my shirt 
right round my legs
And laid down flat inside

I need nothing 
I've everything I need
I lie upon the coffin
A doughnut in my hand

I need nothing, I need nothing
I need nothing, I need nothing

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Nietzsche argued that the corrosive effects of nihilism would eventually destroy all moral, religious, and metaphysical convictions and precipitate the greatest crisis in human history.

Clearly he should have spent more time thinking about doughnuts.

Thanks Ivor, for setting the record straight.
