The Candy Train

that warm injection
has found a friendly vein
now you're heading for a cloud
far over the rain
not a care in the world
you're feeling no pain
they've just punched your ticket
for the candy train
there's no round-trip fare when you find your chair
in the candy train

laying back for the ride
the hammer is down
your eyes are unfocused
as you make that journey uptown
you're getting higher and higher
as you misplace what is real
you're a frequent flyer
asleep at the wheel

reaching your destination
it's time to head on back
fixing your nine to five face
you can't afford to show your tracks
hoping the other you
won't come slipping through
the cracks...that remain
you're a one way ticket
on the candy train
your fate is complete when you take your seat
in the candy train
