Candy apple Bobby boy you make a meal of it
When he gets angry, dinner at the TV set
He's coming to collect payment and respect
City boy
Sedentary bodies hover in the open air
When you're wary sorry lover with a hope and prayer
Pick your poison Bobby copping out to unaware
And when you have it made empty pale and staid
City boy never knew the strength of his own hands
Watch the water drip from the offering stand while the offer still stands
Yellow moon bringing out a darker shade of shame
In my room, come quick while the other one fans an untenable flame
For a long time coming it's a long time past
But the days get colder and the days go fast
And the blood on the corner of your mouth dries black
If you feed him caraway he won't come back
And I understand and I'll be your man
