Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Candy-O, I need you

Sunday dress, ruby ring

Candy-O, I need you so

Could you help me in?

[Verse 2]

Purple hum, assorted cards

Razor lights you'll bring

And all to prove you're on the move

And vanishing

[Verse 3]

Candy-O, I need you so

Candy-O, I need you so

[Verse 4]

Edge of night, distract yourself

Obstacles don't work

Homogenize

Decentralize

It's just a quirk

[Verse 5]

Different ways to see you through

All the same in the end

Peculiar star, a-that's who you are

Do you have to win?

[Verse 6]

Candy-O, I need you so

Candy-O, I need you so

[Verse 7]

Candy-O, I need you so

Candy-O, I need you so
