Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Candle in the room in the afternoon
How do you spoon?
She will be soon
Wave me your fork, raise your knife
Speaks a joke, she slips me alive
[Verse 2]
Candle in the room in the afternoon
How do you spoon?
She will be soon
Wave me your fork, raise your knife
Speaks a joke, she slips me alive
[Verse 3]
Oh, sit down on my chair
When nobody wants to care
Oh, sit down on my chair
When nobody wants to care
[Verse 4]
Candle in the room in the afternoon
How do you spoon?
She will be soon
Wave me your fork, raise your knife
Speaks a joke, she slips me alive
[Verse 5]
Oh, sit down on my chair
When nobody wants to care
Oh, sit down on my chair
When nobody wants to care
[Verse 6]
Oh, sit down on my chair
When nobody wants to care
Oh, sit down on my chair
When nobody wants to care
[Verse 7]
Oh, sit down on my chair
When nobody wants to care
Oh, sit down on my chair
When nobody wants to care
[Verse 8]
Oh, sit down on my chair
When nobody wants to care
Oh, sit down on my chair
When nobody wants to care
[Verse 9]
Oh, sit down on my chair
When nobody wants to care
