Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Shoveling snow I'm humming white noise
Losing the words to the crack in my voice
Lock up the house and uncover my bed
I cook for myself and beg to be fed
[Verse 2]
I pick out a suit from a men's magazine
I polish his shoes and lick his head clean
Now I'm leading him out and his neck comes untied
He unravels like string and leaves me behind
[Verse 3]
Walk on the surface, get up from my knees
But after straight oxygen, queer, it's hard to breathe
And in the confusion I could lose both hands
Your cologne is pollution your violence romance
[Chorus]
Eaten alive in candyland
Eaten alive in candyland
Eaten alive in candyland
Eaten alive in candyland
[Bridge]
It's so sentimental
It's so sentimental
Candy is so sentimental
Candy is so sentimental
[Outro]
Walk on the surface, get up from my knees
But after straight oxygen, queer, it's hard to breathe
And in the confusion I could lose both hands
Your cologne is pollution, your violence is romance, romance
