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
And clearly
Here she stands
With candy in her hands
She offers up the pixie dust
And seperates the sand
And I'll say
"It's alright. No need to ask me twice"
She spins the ring
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
Shes framing false alarms
Until her chambermates 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 alright."
Until once turns into twice
Let's spin the ring
So 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
Casting shadows drenched in sorrow
From a life she'll spend alone
Until the sunshine sets her free
It 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 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
