Candyman Lyrics

Siouxsie & The Banshees Candyman

Sickly sweet, his poison seeks
For the young ones who don't understand the danger in his hands
With a jaundiced wink see his cunning slink
Oh, trust in me my pretty one, come walk with me my helpless one

Candyman

Syrup lies upon your tongue
Gelatine saliva spills the flash of a guillotine a smile

Candyman
Oh, candyman

No pity for him, their misery screams unspeakable things
No pity for him, their misery screams unspeakable things

Candyman

A cool missile, yes, it's in his smile
With open arms to welcome you beware the masked pretender
He always lies, this candyman
Those lips conspire in treachery to strike in cloak and dagger, see

Candyman
Oh, candyman

And all the children, he warns, don't tell those threats are sold
With their guilt and shame they think they're to blame for candyman

Candyman
Candyman
Candyman
Candyman
