Lyrics

Candy

Keep your body in the air
Shut your mouth, you stay out there

Don't let them see you like this
Wash your face and hide your wrists

Just like candy you'll go down
Stain my teeth and rot my mouth

Paint by numbers, one by one
You will see and you will come

Keep the water inside you
You will speak when spoken to

Just like candy you'll go down
Stain my teeth and rot my mouth

Just like candy you'll go down
Just like candy you'll go down
Just like candy you'll go down

    "That’s a long-winded way of saying I don’t know": The wisdom of cult favourite Alex G

    Fifteen years into his career, Alex G remains one of indie’s most enigmatic figures. With ‘Headlights’, his tenth album and first on a major label, he emerges with a brighter, bolder sound without sacrificing the quiet weirdness that made him a cult hero.
