lyrics
candles don’t work
they don’t make light
they don’t make heat
they don’t blow out
candles don’t work
it’s pathetic how they try and melt
they don’t work
they always go out
candles are down and out sarcastic
wine is a nice try
like the cork ever comes out
the labels are fake
and the bottle breaks
there’s never a glass out of which to drink
they don’t even use grapes
and it doesn’t get you straight
the stores won’t even stock it
it makes all the food go bad
the earth is unrealistic
the moon is overpaid
the sun is spoiled rotten
and the flowers are embarrassing
they don’t make light
they don’t make heat
they don’t blow out
candles don’t work
it’s pathetic how they try and melt
they don’t work
they always go out
candles are down and out sarcastic
wine is a nice try
like the cork ever comes out
the labels are fake
and the bottle breaks
there’s never a glass out of which to drink
they don’t even use grapes
and it doesn’t get you straight
the stores won’t even stock it
it makes all the food go bad
the earth is unrealistic
the moon is overpaid
the sun is spoiled rotten
and the flowers are embarrassing

There is no use there is no use at all in smell, in taste, in teeth, in toast, in anything, there is no use at all and the respect is mutual. (Gertrude Stein)
