Lyrics Candyland (Live: Cactus Cafe, Austin TX 1991) - James McMurtry
Ugly
pictures
on
the
wall
Traffic
outbound
slowing
to
a
crawl
Evening
papers
on
the
manicured
lawns
It
never
ceases
it
just
goes
on
and
on
The
people
next
door
don't
mind
at
all
They've
got
'em
a
spiked
fence
ten
feet
tall
()
In
the
candyland
In
the
candyland
Gray
squirrel
running
down
the
telephone
wire
Kids
around
the
poolside
screaming
like
cats
on
fire
Cats
on
fire
chasing
after
the
ice
cream
van
But
that
circus
music's
got
to
be
hell
on
the
ice
Cream
man
He
clips
his
roach
and
he
hauls
his
load
Taking
his
half
out
of
the
middle
of
the
road
The
heels
grow
tall
and
the
skirts
hang
low
There
could
be
something
here
but
they
just
won't
let
It
show
()
Same
old
neighborhood
with
a
colder
feel
Just
the
curbs
and
drains
left
over
from
the
new
deal
Smooth
young
faces
on
the
TV
news
And
They
can
read
copy
they
don't
have
to
be
real
Thinking
back
on
the
finer
days
Remembering
the
pendulum
swings
both
ways
(Repeat
to
fade)
