From the recording Candy Cigarette
Lyrics
Stand there staring, eyes fixed, fists clenched, you make the most masterful mess.
Like a she devil in a summer dress, I know exactly what to expect
Falling forward is still progress, there’s no knights in this game of chess
Little more than an empty threat, like taking a drag from a candy cigarette.
Less than dead last in this queue, but this is one complicated view
Battered past red, black & blue – this fight may never be useful
Falling forward is still progress, there’s no knights in this game of chess
Little more than an empty threat, like taking a drag from a candy cigarette.
Lie back, up comes the down, from a thief take your crown
Get back with love turns to shove
Try to fill my broken cup
Falling forward is still progress, there’s no knights in this game of chess
about as (w)hole as a broken temptress, like taking a drag from a candy cigarette.
Falling forward is still progress, there’s no knights in this game of chess
You're as whole as a broken temptress, like taking a drag from a candy cigarette.
