Trick Candles Lyrics

Shake your broom through the house

Sit on it, ride away

And when you can't laugh, you can hardly feel your face

But it takes a lot to laugh

And when your face gets slapped

Ooh you wake up

Birthday's gluing you down

Trick candles burn your cake

You beat it from above, if you never even show your age

It's a trumpet tongue

That leaves your teeth numb

With your bootheels headed south

Back where this came about

No one limited the steps you took

It's as if you froze

But you can't live underground

See it's safe here now

There's a taller bridge to be rolling over

So love what's here and look nowhere further

The times are tense, we're resigned and bitter

The higher rung's worth holding on to just look at its remains

It's cut off and thrown away

As if you froze

Your teeth are numb

Now you can't freeze underground

You see it's safe here now

No one limited the trips you took

Before you got stuck

Stuck out beyond the road

Where you can't see, oh

If you look

If you look

Use your eyes

If you look

If you look

Well use your eyes

(If you look)

Climb to the beach

(If you look)

Out of the shadowy sea

(Use your eyes)

We spent a while underneath

(If you look)

Any right delivery

(If you look)

Cools the fire that you breathe

(Well use your eyes)

It's the sign of the season
