Eye Candy Lyrics - Long Player Late Bloomer - Ron Sexsmith

Sipping on a black Dakota pint 

The joint is jumping on a Sunday night 

But then something wicked this way comes 

Sticking out like two sore thumbs 

Eye candy, ear poison 

Oh Mother, keep your boys in 

'Cause uptown came downtown 

And now they keep hanging around 

They didn't want to listen to no band 

Why don't they grab a cab back to clubland 

Now they're coming on to every guy 

Like two drunken socialites 

Eye candy, ear poison 

Oh Mother, keep your boys in 

'Cause uptown came downtown 

And now they keep hanging around 

It's uncanny, what the wind blows in 

Oh Brother, you'd think what goes in 

Must come out but somehow 

It's been dumbed down and now they're hanging around 

You should see the way they dance 

Rubbing up against everybody's leg 

And like a bad masseuse 

Everything they do rubs me the wrong way 

Well, now something wicked this way comes 

Sticking out like two sore thumbs 

Eye candy, ear poison 

Oh Mother, keep your boys in 

'Cause high brow came low brow 

And our eyebrows may never come down 

It can't be, screen's frozen 

Oh Brother, keep your nose clean 

'Cause upload came download 

With a truck load of trouble 'bout to explode 

Eye candy, ear poison 

Oh Mother, keep your boys in 

'Cause uptown came downtown 

And now they keep hanging around
