Candy and Cigarelles 

Jesse Conrad 

Candy and cigarettes, candy and cigarettes 
All I want from life is rubber buns and licorice 
Wax-covered fruit from dining room tables 
Big wicker baskets and old bentwood chairs. 
Hickory sandwich and oak lemonade 
Pureed pyjamas with steel marmalade and 
Old dirty stockings that weren 't ever made. 
I never work and I always get paid 
I'm the only pimp who never gets laid 
'Cause it's candy and cigarettes and old bentwood chairs 
And everything else for which nobody cares. 
Black rhododendrons with switchblade desserts 
Big pineapples picnics where ants play charades. 
Five iron wedding and cocaine suprise 
Four and twenty blackbirds got baked with 4:20 guys. 
He says the only win is right through the eyes 
Which have been crying and are stuck shut in the morn, 
I was already dead, yeah, before I was born. 
So candy and cigarettes and old bentwood chairs 
Are the last things I see and 
Rubber buns and licorice are my greatest fears 
And a big beautiful rainbow is the last thing I hear
