Neutral Milk Hotel - Candy Coated Dream Lyrics

A candy coated dream
With parks and trees and figurines
And her arms wrapped 'round my sleeve
With tiny steps and eyes of green;
Toy guitar that's out of tune
Eyes fixed on morning time cartoons
And by the lantern of the moon
I will dream of a love like you

And will you hang up high
A family portrait smile
Will you kiss my child,
As she is dancing now;
This figure I will frame
A life without a name
But this thought I proclaim
I'm just romancing now
I'm only chancing now

A candy coated dream
With hearts and string and angel wings
And her life will fall between
The cracks that follow you and me

And will you hang up high
A family portrait smile
Will you kiss my child,
As she is dancing now;
This figure I will frame
A life without a name
But this thought I proclaim
I'm just romancing now
I'm only chancing now
