Neutral Milk Hotel Candy Coated Dream
a candy coated dream
with parks and trees and figurines
and her arms wrapped 'round my sleeve
with tiny steps and eyes of green;
toy guitar that's out of tune
eyes fixed on morning time cartoons
and by the lantern of the moon
i will dream of a love like you
and will you hang up high
a family portrait smile
will you kiss my child,
as she is dancing now;
this figure i will frame
a life without a name
but this thought i proclaim
i'm just romancing now
i'm only chancing now
a candy coated dream
with hearts and string and angel wings
and her life will fall between
the cracks that follow you and me
and will you hang up high
a family portrait smile
will you kiss my child,
as she is dancing now;
this figure i will frame
a life without a name
but this thought i proclaim
i'm just romancing now
i'm only chancing now
