Candy Man's Gone
(专辑: The Trouble With Normal - 1983)
Sun climbs toward high noon Glints metallic off the
bowl of the
spoon Sliding through the
air toward parted lips Watch the
expression when the
straight taste hits Face crumples, tongue's quickly withdrawn I
hate to tell you but the
candy man's gone Oh sweet fantasia of the
safe home Where nobody has to scrape for honey at the
bottom of the
comb Where every actor understands the
scene And nobody ever means to be mean Catch it in a
dream, catch it in a
song Seek it on the
street, you find the
candy man's gone I
hate to tell you but the
candy man's gone In the
bar, in the
senate, in the
alley, in the
study Pimping dreams of riches for everybody 'Something for nothing, new lamps for old And the
streets will be platinum, never mind gold' Well, hey, pass it on Misplaced your faith and the
candy man's gone I
hate to tell you but the
candy man's gone
