lyrics

BUTTERFLIES AND CANDY

I got this power----Inside of me
I got this power-----Strong as a tree

What do I do?----What do I want?
If I was a ghost-----Who would I haunt?

I’d haunt someone out there
Who doesn’t care about me

I’d try to attract them----With butterflies ----And Candy

I got this power----I didn’t earn
I test this power----What do I learn?

I learn to kill-----Learn to create
I learn to love-----I learn to hate

I learn to destroy lives-----With butterflies-----And Candy
I learn to repeat lines-----That make a man feel randy

What if I got all I said I thought wanted
Would I want it anymore?

Would it’s value be based on hard the hunt went?
How resistant was the score?

What if I got-----What I desire?
Would I still want?----Would I get tired?

Tired of the power-----I never earned
Bored of the power-----What did I learn?

I learned to destroy lives-----With butterflies-----And Candy
I learn to repeat lines---That make a man feel randy

What if I got all I said I thought wanted---Would I want it anymore?
Would it’s value be based on hard the hunt went?----How resistant was the score?

I learned to destroy lives-----With butterflies-----And Candy
I learn to repeat lines---That make a man feel randy

Then run away. ..Run Away..Run Away !!!!
