Rock Candy (Live) - Sammy Hagar & The Circle

I was perched outside in the pouring rain Trying to make myself a sail Then I'll float to you my darlin' With the evening on my tail Although not the most honest means of travel It gets me there nonetheless I'm a heartless man at worst, babe And a helpless one at best Darling I'll bathe your skin I'll even wash your clothes Just give me some candy, before I go Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes And lay you down on your rug Just give me some candy After my heart Oh I'm often false explaining But to her it plays out all the same And although I'm left defeated It get's held against my name I know you got plenty to offer me baby But I guess I've taken quite enough Well I'm some stain there on your bed sheet You're my diamond in the rough Darling I'll bathe your skin I'll even wash your clothes Just give me some candy, before I go Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes And lay you down on your rug Just give me some candy After my heart Darling I'll bathe your skin I'll even wash your clothes Just give me some candy, before I go Oh I'll be there waiting for you Oh I'll be there waiting for you Oh I'll be there waiting for you Oh I'll be there waiting for you All the cheap and the sugary philosophies Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting All the angels and their halos All of them have got me waiting and waiting

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 discreetly 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
