Kandy Korn Lyrics

Q: Beatle Bones and Smoking Stones

Beatle bones and smokin Stones The dry sands fall The strawberry mouth; strawberry moth; strawberry caterpillar Strawberry butterfly; strawberry fields The winged eel slither on the heels of todays children Strawberry feels forever Yeah roosters ol glass roosters stick to your race In a drag-queen live-wood farmhouse Tractors are clawin; the folks are crawlin Trees in a row climbing a coach and I blow rich Red blue yellow sunset Where I set and you set; and Ive loved and youve loved And Ive seen and youve seen Salt Man has just made his mark - and crumbled The dark - the light - the dark - the day Porcelain children see through white lights Soft-cracker bats Cheshire cats named The Dark - the Light - the Dark - the Day Blue veins through gray-felt tomorrows Cellular sail-boat - ye ole feathered kind Blow it into a pond swayin in circles Red blue yellow sunset. Where Ive set and youve set; and Ive loved and youve loved What I saw and you saw Strawberry feels forever
