Sugar And Candy Lyrics

Second time around doing this....I think it'll be better....here we go



It was 5:45 on a friday

I was waitin' for a train goin' my way

I stood packed on a platform in Brooklyn

Where everybody's pushin', but nobody's lookin'

So I got crushed in the rush for the subway

By the little old man tryin to shove me

Well I noticed her when I glanced sideways

And felt continents shifting inside me

I was dressed in my best polyester

And I could tell that the plastic impressed her

Cuz she smiled as she eased up beside me

And then she said she had things to confide, see

She said her dad ran away with Samantha

The middle-aged exotic dancer

So her mom had to turn to her savior

And here's the advice that he gave her



He said reese's pieces, sweedish fish

Oodles of skittles and red liccorice

Marshmallow mints and a chocolate kiss

And it melts in your mouth like this



(Chorus)

Take out your contacts and look at the screen 

Take off your make-up and look at the scene

If you break your restrictions, then you'll understand me

Take your persrciption of sugar and candy, oh yeah



We arrived there by way of the highway

After night drives with trinklets and tirades

To a town bound with old guards and dry docks

Bored I drug my ass of the bus and hit the sidewalks

I stumbled by the lane name of My Way

And got caught in the street by treading lightly

The fish passed me by led by fish hooks

I hit pop flies and caught their strange looks

But one figure struggled just to stand there

He was a one-legged man in his wheel chair

I struck out a course for his lantern

I put out a hand and then he grabbed me

He told a lifetime of boxcars and bi-ways

Of the times of stock yards and chain gangs and two legs

He offered his advice for a penny

And for that small price here's what he gave me



(Chorus)

Take out your contacts and look at the screen 

Take off your make-up and look at the scene

If you break your restrictions, then you'll understand me

Take your persrciption of sugar and candy, oh yeah
