about

I called in sick that day. J and I spent the day at A9, recorded this whole track in 8 hours. We borrowed Hedwig's bass stack, mic'd it.

lyrics

Let the poor, tired, sad and hungry lend an ear
This is not a souvenir
See it bagged in handsome felt
You be assured it never melt
And it costs less than a chilly airport beer

Chocolate Lady Freedom under rockets' red explosion
Bring your demon-sweet compulsions to the fair
Stock it: there's no beatin' once those figures are in season
Their $12 each or $15 for a pair

Blocked it out my brain and took my francs aboard a plane,
But I came raving back with eighty times the flair
Had a caramel Eiffel Tower:
"Never melted, stale or sour," so they claimed,
But now it's mashed up in your hair

Chocolate Lady Freedom under rockets' red explosion
Bring your dreamy sweet confections to my lair
Chocolate Grand Illusion with that Ellis Isle seclusion
Grab your blushed and painted mistress by the hair

Independence Day bunnies in that dynamite collision
It's a nougat-mallow cup extraordinaire
Pixie Dust Grenada-- these'll take down the Al-Qaeda
Watermelon, peach, lime, kiwi, orange and pear

It's a heaven-way to stare
