Candace - Animal Flag

When I move forward, I take three steps back

Does the world turn on an axis or a track?

There’s a time and a place for everything

I get seasonal depression in the spring

When the flowers come up from their beds

They’ll be laughing despite the dead

In Canada, in an old forgotten shed

There’s a little girl freezing to death

In LA, there’s a businessman in bed

He’s giving and getting head

Yeah, he’s givin' and gettin' it

There’s a time and a place for everything

There’s the funeral dirge, there’s the wedding ring

There’s the way that you like to part your hair

There’s the hey, hey, hey

There’s the tone that you use with me in the dark

There’s the noise that you make when you parallel park

There’s the crippling fear that you’ve had from the start

And you still can’t fake it, you still can’t shake it

You still can’t break the mold

It doesn’t matter how you feel

It doesn’t matter what is real

The best you can hope for anyone is a painless execution
