I saw her there at the back of the bus
|
slipping in and out of consciousness
|
Some guy was blowing smoke into her mouth
|
laughing with a madman's look on his face
|
|
and she was smiling
|
She was on cloud eight
|
missing her stops
|
playing with fate
|
with no one to hold her
|
and no one to see
|
She falls to the floor and whispers to me
|
in the dark, in the dusk, in the dawning...
|
|
Chorus:
|
I'm Candy
|
How sweet is my name
|
I'm everybody's daughter
|
But no one seems to know her
|
I'm Candy
|
And you're all to blame
|
Your American daughter
|
One more for the slaughter
|
|
In the walls of her mind
|
There's a girl another time
|
and she's dancing in the park
|
and in her mother's arms
|
with her mother's heart
|
|
And they're laughing in the rain
|
And here she is a laughing again
|
It's not funny anymore
|
to hear her whisper from behind the door
|
in the dark, in the dusk, in the dawning
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
Can you understand Candy?
|
Candy can't understand...
|
|
In the day, in the dark
|
in the dusk, 'til the dawn...
|
Candy...
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
She don't understand...
|
