Candyland (Live: Cactus Cafe, Austin TX 1991)

歌詞

Ugly pictures on the wall Traffic outbound slowing to a crawl Evening papers on the manicured lawns It never ceases it just goes on and on The people next door don't mind at all They've got 'em a spiked fence ten feet tall (chorus) In the candyland In the candyland Gray squirrel running down the telephone wire Kids around the poolside screaming like cats on fire Cats on fire chasing after the ice cream van But that circus music's got to be hell on the ice cream man He clips his roach and he hauls his load Taking his half out of the middle of the road (chorus x2) The heels grow tall and the skirts hang low There could be something here but they just won't let it show (chorus) Same old neighborhood with a colder feel Just the curbs and drains left over from the new deal Smooth young faces on the TV news And They can read copy they don't have to be real Thinking back on the finer days Remembering the pendulum swings both ways Chorus (repeat to fade)
