[Intro]
Last ride
Last round
Cotton candy
On the ground
(you’re welcome back again)
[Verse 1]
Welcome, children
Step right in
House of sugar
House of sin
Gumdrops melted
On your shoes
Carousel
Has bit the fuse
Ferris wheel
Stuck mid-sky
Candy eyes
All rolled dry
Tickets tearing
In my glove
Every wristband
Stained with love
[Chorus]
It’s closing time in Candy Land
Everyone’s gone home in pieces
I fold my hands, I bow my head
I sweep up all your little secrets
Thank you for your sweetest screams
You made such beautiful ends
Doors are shut, the lights are dim
And you’re welcome back again
(oh, you’re welcome back again)
[Verse 2]
Jawbreak roads
Cracked in half
Lollipops
Like shattered glass
Caramel
On broken seats
Frozen faces
Sticky cheeks
Funhouse mirrors
Show you through
All the stains
You never knew
Prize booth empty
Rust on gold
Every story
Neatly told
[Chorus]
It’s closing time in Candy Land
Everyone’s gone home in pieces
I fold my hands, I bow my head
I sweep up all your little secrets
Thank you for your sweetest screams
You made such beautiful ends
Doors are shut, the lights are dim
And you’re welcome back again
(yeah, you’re welcome back again)
[Bridge]
Lost and found box
Overflowed
Every heart tag
Bar-coded
Roller coaster
Rests at last
Every promise
Candy-wrapped
I lock the gate
I taste the air
All that sugar
All despair
Whisper soft
To all my friends
“Come back soon
For brand-new ends”
[Chorus]
It’s closing time in Candy Land
Everyone’s gone home in pieces
I fold my hands, I bow my head
I sweep up all your little secrets
Thank you for your sweetest screams
You made such beautiful ends
Doors are shut, the lights are dim
And you’re welcome back again
(oh, you’re welcome back again)
