Antony And The Johnsons Candy Says Lyrics

Candy Says Lyrics

( Live / Lou Reed Cover )



Candy says

I've come to hate my body

And all that it requires

In this world



Candy says

I'd like to know completely

What others so discretely

Talk about



I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly

Over my shoulder

I'm gonna watch them pass me by

Maybe when I'm older



What do you think I'd see

If I could walk away from me



Candy says

I hate the quiet places

That cause the smallest taste

Of what will be



Candy says

I hate the big decisions

That cause endless revisions

In my mind



I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly

Over my shoulder

I'm gonna watch them pass me by

Maybe when I'm older



What do you think I'd see

If I could walk away from me
