The Crayon Song

It’s 3 a.m., and the conversation’s spent. She’s waiting on the bedside wrapped within the static wind

And she’s got powders and pills, chasing thrills through dollar bills.

Tracing lines off her reflection with her senses so distilled.

As she drifts on through this dream, she can share her medication, but she can’t outrun the rain

When clearly, here she stands with candy in her hands. She offers up the pixie dust and separates the sand.

And I’ll say, it’s all right, no need to ask me twice. She spins the rings so she can sing the crayon song tonight.

She’s gonna’ sing the crayon song tonight.

When she calls, you can find her in the hall where she’s scribbling a picture she hangs crooked on the wall.

She’s framing false alarms until her chambermaids have gone then she’ll sleep beside the music box

Who's tune keeps playing on.  Her behavior seems insane

‘cause we both know you might overdose from trying to kill the pain.

But lately, here we stand with candy in our hands. Let’s mix us up some pixie dust and sprinkle on the sand. 

We’ll just say, it’s all right till once turns into twice. Let’s spin the rings and we can sing the crayon song tonight.

We’re gonna’ sing the crayon song tonight

I’m off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors.

Off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors 

Fan the flame, and erase another day, she’ll be running all the red lights till the candles melt away.

Along this empty road, where the flowers never grow.

Cast in shadows, drenched in sorrow from a life she’ll spend alone until the sunshine sets her free.

It’s appears that you’ve been down so long it looks like up to me but sadly, here I stand with candy in my hands.

I’m mixed up with the pixie dust and sinking in the sand and something’s not quite right.

Sometimes you should think twice. I spun the rings and now I’ll sing the crayon song all night.

I’m gonna sing the crayon song tonight.

I’m off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors.

Off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors
