Candy Says
Composer(s): Lou Reed

Candy says I've come to hate my body 
and all that it requires in this world 
Candy says I'd like to know completely 
what others so discretely talk about 

Candy says I hate the quiet places 
that cause the smallest taste of what will be 
Candy says I hate the big decisions 
that cause endless revisions in my mind 

I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder 
I'm gonna watch them pass me by 
Maybe when I'm older 
What do you think I'd see 
If I could walk away from me
