"The Candy Machine And My Girlfriend" lyrics - LIFTER PULLER

Thugs with drugs and clubs and pubs and bars
The entertainment and arts
The give, the take, the waking up on trains
The fruits they flared in the flames
The green grapes and the grain
And all the dances we learned;
'The twist', 'the turn', 'the give-yourself-a-perm'
The collagen in your kiss
The limp-wrists always make the sweetest fists
She's perched atop the pillow in her booth
She says "it's 20 if I'm supposed to tell the truth
And for 40 then I went down on your wounds with scotch and soda"

The sticky sharks and the steamy saunas
Pockmarked pervs and the pink piranhas
Credit card chicks taking cash advances
Lovers in the lockdown under shady circumstances
The flirty answers from the dirty dancers
And New Rochelle is for the new romantics

She says I'm scratched up from glass
And I'm so strapped for cash
It goes through me so fast
I can't go back to Cali
Stuck in Milwaukee
We drank on the roof and we pissed on the city

Heschers hanging on the hoods of the cars
They did the hairnets, the cigarettes, The Bears and then Sublet
Guess it all started in your apartment
Jenny's pretty jumpy, pulls a gun out of the glove compartment
And she shoots it off to try to impress you
First she gets off, then she tries to undress you
And you wake up and you don't know how your hand got in the tapedeck
A skimpy outfit for a lousy paycheck
And New Rochelle is full of bloody carwrecks
