Candy Man 03:08
Candy Man There's a hole in my head tonight like a flaw, a whisper from on high it's cold and it's heavy stains me whole red and silvery CHORUS: sending back, oh (From the back of my head to my knuckles) There's a school that I never went to I could have learned maybe a trick or two but it was cold and it was heavy with faces bold and drunk with misery BRIDGE: There's the sun right in your eyes and the seizure of your smiles if you ever feel at home you'll be the fiend, I'll be the hustler you'll be the queen I'll be the hunter like a ship caught in a storm.... You'll be the fiend, I'll be the hustler You'll be the queen I'll be the hunter

She was lonely didnt get enough of the honey and the bruise of love he was only a small town boy with a strong heart and bored with his toys He threw his suitcase on the train Mama said boy you're insane the days of careless living are over and over and over back to you ooh I bet you'll be better tomorrow I bet only luck will follow It was misty a bitter morning she was sweeping the barroom floor when he looked up from the daily scar to his ego to his lucky star she couldn't have breathed without him and living out there on a whim when the curtain drops there ain't no fire, fire,fire... They threw the suitcase on the train mama said kids you're insane the days of careless living are over and over and over back to you when you listen to the rain outside let your fairies wander far and wide oh I bet you'll be better tomorrow... oh I bet only luck will follow...

My Pocket 03:49
It was here, right there, right down in my pocket but the thing with love is that you can't lock it so I 'll save some more some years on my feelings and I'll buy myself a new beginning You get all heads up when you say who comes first? And nothing when you say who can I trust? Lost my Sally in the sunshine You reap what you sow, you reap what you sow Said it was here right there right down at the bottom of my pocket and I though it was safe but then now everyday when I think back of the times I should have cherished it, I should have fought for it! You get all heads up when you say who come first? And silence when you say who can I trust? Lost my Sally in the sunshine You reap what you sow, you reap what you sow....

Lie Down Low 02:59
it's a beautiful life when a dog and a wife is all you need and a blissful day when it turns you like a cog in the machine from the day that you're born till the day you die they got you covered not a shadow of doubt or the guts to shout the feelings you don't feel Lie Down low, Lie down low Lie down low, just lie down low, I won't let go, I told you so (Up Up Up they call me Up) it's a beautiful life when a gun and a knife is all you need When the cut is deep and the floor is burning, you should know what I mean Well it nevers stops and it boils and it simmers until you're dry and empty And we chose the path of least resistance to the heart of the free Stuck in limbo, stuck in limbo...
