Candy Bar Killer
Simone White Lyrics
she was an invitation
a sparkle cartoon cat on red and grey
smiling I know you hate me
but come to my birthday party anyway
sugar in circles on the floor
lipstick balloons on every door
it's such fun to be beautiful and young
he was a nervous finger
and they danced to arizona
as the last chaperone disappeared
sangria spit dripping on his ear from her tongue
so beautiful and young
he was a fire engine
she was a cigarette on saturday
there was a yellow bottle
dropping white pills into pink lemonade
now they call her the candy bar killer
for the wrapper she left by his side
it's such fun to be beautiful and young
she cried
