Candy Says – Antony And The Johnsons (originally by Lou Reed)

Candy says
I’ve come to hate my body
And all that it requires
In this world

Candy says
I’d like to know completely
What others so discretely
Talk about

I’m gonna watch the blue birds fly
Over my shoulder
I’m gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I’m older

What do you think I’d see
If I could walk away from me

Candy says
I hate the quiet places
That cause the smallest taste
Of what will be

Candy says
I hate the big decisions
That cause endless revisions
In my mind

I’m gonna watch the blue birds fly
Over my shoulder
I’m gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I’m older

What do you think I’d see
If I could walk away from me
