Candy (Take It Away)

Lyrics From the LP "The War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness", 2017



Oh, for a friendly girl
You remind me of
Everyone that shook my heart from stable.

And I'm a passenger
In a rocketcar
With a brake, and a gas, and no steering wheel.

And I get driven off with the riot act
When I get to the part where I say how I feel ...

And the weepy thing when you're near to me
Does not endear you to me, 'cause it's far from stable
'Cause it's far from stable ...

Yeah, yeah, yeah ...



Well Candy you won't take a break
And take that from me.
Tell me you won't take a taste of the sweet
And leave.
Baby it's nothing to do with the things you've been.
Candy you can't have a taste and just let me be.
No, you can't take it away from
Me!



Oh, for a simple girl
You can cause a stir
With all the little boys
Who are willing and able.

And I'm a stranger, then
When you're near to them
But we're hand in hand
When you're far from danger.

And I get bitten off like a little dog
When I bark all about what I think I'm seeing.

And the funny thing is when you're near to me
All I can think is a billion ways of stayin'
Am I really your man?!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!



Well Candy you won't take a break
And take that from me.
Tell me you won't take a taste of the sweet
And leave.
Baby it's nothing to do with the things you've been.
Candy you can't have a taste and just let me be.
No, you can't take it away from
Me!



It's the part of the fantasy
Where you can take a share of me
And I keep sharin' you
With everyone you're wantin' to
You've got to stay available
To everyone but 'you know who'
And I just can't shake it
When it's naked.



Well Candy you won't take a break
And take that from me.
Tell me you won't take a taste of the sweet
And leave.
Baby it's nothing to do with the things you've been.
Candy you can't have a taste and just let me be.
No, you can't take it away from
Me!
