Strange Candy Lyrics - Jim White

It was 1967, I was watching a TV show 

When the glowing screen went blank 

I looked out of my window 

I saw 27 crows perched on my antenna 

In the glass a familiar face appeared 

A man whose name I don't remember 

Now mother's milk is dandy 

When you're a little baby 

But as the wheels of time grind you down 

You get a taste for that stranger candy 

Back in December of 81 

I saw my dear old friend John 

Fall down drunk at the Christmas parade 

With his children looking on

His wife she'd lost her mind 

She was committed for a time 

She took refuge when they set her free 

In some weird eastern philosophy 

Yeah, that mother's milk is dandy 

When you're a little baby 

But as the wheels of time grind you down 

You get a taste for stranger candy 

This life they say is hard 

But still it's all you know 

You can close your eyes and try to run away 

But pray, where will you go? 

Yeah, life is all you know 

Death is dark and strange 

It's the near and worrisome voice you hear 

Forever calling out your name

As I was walking down the street 

Last week in Portland Oregon 

I found the last of many keys I lost 

I picked it up and I grinned 

'Cause sometimes them crows take flight 

And if you can shoo em from your brain 

You will find yourself in the nick of time 

Calling the devil by his name 

Calling the devil by his name 

Yeah, mother's milk is dandy 

When you're a little baby 

But as the wheels of time grind you down 

You get a taste, just a little taste for that stranger candy
