Lyrics
Candybar
if i had an etch-a-sketch
i?d shake it up before you left
and memorize those certain things
that being with you and alone brings
i don?t really need anyone
and i?m leaving as soon as my laundry?s done
and all that i want is a candy bar
that tastes better in that sweater she has on
i knew an existentialist
who spent his life making a fist
and though he could not prove it to me
i didn?t care, i saw the movie
i don?t really need anyone
and i?m leaving as soon as my laundry?s done
and all that i want is a candy bar
that tastes better in that sweater she has on
