It's 3 a.m. and the conversation's spent
She's waiting on the bedside wrapped within the static wind
And she's got powders and pills
Chasing thrills through dollar bills
Tracing lines off her reflection with her senses so distilled
As she drifts on through this dream
She can share her medication but she can't out run the rain
When clearly here she stands with candy in her hands
She offers up the pixie dust and separates the sand
And I'll say "It's alright. No need to ask me twice"
She spins the ring so she can sing the crayon song tonight
She's gonna sing the crayon song tonight
♪
When she calls, you can find her in the hall
Where she's scribbling a picture she hangs crooked on the wall
She's framing false alarms until her chamber mates have gone
Then she'll sleep beside the music box whose tune keeps playing on
Her behavior seems insane
'Cause we both know you might overdose
From trying to kill the pain
But lately here we stand with candy in our hands
Let's mix us up some pixie dust and sprinkle on the sand
We'll just say it's alright 'til once turns into twice
Let's spin the ring so we can sing the crayon song tonight
We're gonna sing the crayon song tonight
I'm off to wander with my lover
In her bag of pretty colors
Off to wander with my lover
In her bag of pretty colors
Fan the flame and a race another day
She'll be running all the red lights 'til the candles melt away
Along this empty road where the flowers never grow
Casting shadows drenched in sorrow from a life
She'll spend alone until the sunshine sets her free
It appears that you've been down so long, it looks like up to me
But sadly here I stand with candy in my hands
I mixed up with the pixie dust and sinking in the sand
And something's not quite right
Sometimes you should think twice
I spun the rings and now I'll sing the crayon song all night
I'm gonna sing the crayon song tonight
I'm off to wander with my lover
In her bag of pretty colors
Off to wander with my lover
In her bag of pretty colors
