you’re swinging from the gate
licking pennies right out
of the collection plate
your sidearm’s got you brave
spending quality time down in
your rental grave
it’s time to follow through
you’ve got a bad ole case
of sour candy blues
… in your fancy shoes
the trashman knows your pain
the sin it hangs on you
like a fresh coat of paint
come be his junkyard queen
tracing rainbows in the spilled gasoline
the sour candy blues
dripping from your nose
right down to your shoes
,,, down on your fancy shoes
now let me tell ya what i saw last night
you drive
i’ll scheme
if you writhe i’m gonna talk about it
jigsaw in midair
i don’t care, sour candy everywhere
if you lean
on my screen
you fiend!
later on we’ll laugh about it
do you swear
that you’d stare?
i don’t care, sour candy everywhere
the trashman knows your hurts
he wants to share
a flash of that mystery
he wants to lift the curse
he wants to share the burden
of your luxuries
the sour candy blues
dripping from your nose
right down to your shoes
… down to your fancy shoes
