Lyrics:

Well in Candy's room there are pictures of her savior on the wall

But to get to Candy's room you've gotta walk the darkness of Candy's hall

Strangers from the city call my baby's number and they bring Candy toys

But when I come knockin' she smiles pretty

She knows tonight I'm gonna be Candy's boy

Well in the olden days when the Mongolian gangs rode herd out on Route 9

We'd go riding in the rain runnin' south way down through the pines

Weekends in the sun in that cheap motel down by the dynamo

We loved each other till there was nothin' left

And drove that old car as hard and fast as she would go

Well like a cold winter wind blowing in babe I needed you

But Candy's got a man who takes care of her better than I do

Well there's machines and there's fire

Waiting for us on the edge of town

And there's some roughboys for hire

And they're waiting to blow me and Candy down

It's all right 'cause they can't touch us now they'll never destroy

My sweet love for I will forever be Candy's boy

My sweet love for I will forever be Candy's boy
