"The Candy Lady" lyrics

Follow me
To Northeast
Back in '89
It was you and me
Cigarettes
And candy
I got everything
You'd ever need

What you want? What you need?
Crystal hope, powder dreams
Bittersweet, dopamine
One for you, one for me

Pick a sin, what you like?
Gluttony, I'll provide
Turn your lips numb
Paralyzed, take a bite

I'm not a human crying out in a ghost town burning underground
If I knew back then what I know now

Call me evil, crazy, you could never save me
Fading never felt so sweet
It was hell on Earth down on U Street

All that glitters ain't gold
Every candy store is now closed
Used to be the yellow brick road

Follow all the bricks to the source
To the man sitting on a horse
Where they all have no remorse

Covered in lies
Pick a poison you could never decide
We could feel but were we even alive

Everything was bad bad bad bad, mad mad mad
So fucking mad nothing was part of the plan

Couldn't mourn what we never had it's sad

I'm not a human crying out in a ghost town burning underground
If I knew back then what I know now

Call me evil, crazy, you could never save me
Fading never felt so sweet
It was hell on Earth down on U Street

I'm tired of screaming when I just wanna cry
I'm tired of living when I just wanna die
I'm tired of seeing ife so crystal clear
I'm tired of being tired that's why I'm here
