Expired Candy

Before you, she was a pitbull - now she's more like mercury Or the shadow of an olive branch, by the river in the liminal valley These days you do your best to pretend you're friends A monolithic double fantasy Trip down city pavement, unleash yourself Before you fool her of what you can be Do it for your dead, do it for your dead Success as sweet as expired candy Do it for your dead, lead before you're lead Footsteps of a perfect fantasy And the sun came up between the traffic Bending images of light and static But she'll be there when it really matters As the rose climbs the coloured lattice These days you try and avoid the noise As if you had a choice with those boys With those boys! And we will - Do it for your dead, do it for your dead Success as sweet as expired candy Do it for your dead, do it for your dead Success as sweet as expired candy - we will Do it for your dead, do it for your dead Success as sweet as expired candy - we will In this great night I will tremble In this great night - I will quake And as she lies there - I lie awake Yeah in this great night she will tremble and here I wait Lovers past their best before (Do it for your dead, do it for your dead, do it for your dead) A sugar rush that rubs you raw (Do it for your dead, do it for your dead, do it for your dead) Heart breaks, tooth will shatter (Do it for your dead, do it for your dead, do it for your dead) But she'll be there when it really matters (Do it for your dead, do it for your dead, do it for your dead)
