๐ Lyrics
Pain works on a sliding scale
So does pleasure in a candy jail
True love doesn't come around any more
Than fate allows on a Monday in Ft. Lauderdale
I came all this way to see your grave
To see your life as written paraphrased
I have tried be it is written on the furnace of affliction
This is what you couldn't face
Life in a candy jail
Peppermint bars
Peanut brittle bunk beds and marshmallow walls
Where the guards are gracious
And the grounds are grand
And the warden keeps the data on your favorite brands
Jelly beans and cookie dough
Country restroom on a radio
I've got a number on my name
It's hard to rise above the shame
I'm a branded man made in the mold
These terms engulf the waking mind
Like cherry, grape and lemon-lime
Like candy corn and licorice
Like bubble gum and Swedish fish
This happens to me all the time
Living in a candy jail
With peppermint bars
Peanut brittle bunk beds
And marshmallow walls
Where the guards are gracious
And the grounds are grand
And the warden really listens
And he understands
So does pleasure in a candy jail
True love doesn't come around any more
Than fate allows on a Monday in Ft. Lauderdale
I came all this way to see your grave
To see your life as written paraphrased
I have tried be it is written on the furnace of affliction
This is what you couldn't face
Life in a candy jail
Peppermint bars
Peanut brittle bunk beds and marshmallow walls
Where the guards are gracious
And the grounds are grand
And the warden keeps the data on your favorite brands
Jelly beans and cookie dough
Country restroom on a radio
I've got a number on my name
It's hard to rise above the shame
I'm a branded man made in the mold
These terms engulf the waking mind
Like cherry, grape and lemon-lime
Like candy corn and licorice
Like bubble gum and Swedish fish
This happens to me all the time
Living in a candy jail
With peppermint bars
Peanut brittle bunk beds
And marshmallow walls
Where the guards are gracious
And the grounds are grand
And the warden really listens
And he understands
