Peppermint Candy Man

Blaming kings upon the hill

They never seem to get their fill

Tombstone homes and dollar bills

Black eagles circling looking for another kill

They try to keep you guessing all the time

They try to keep you standing there in line

They love to drive you crazy

They love to blow your mind

Peppermint Candy Man

Playing the games of love

Just a light old candy man

Making the game, my Lord

That's right, he's a Peppermint Candy Man

Playing the games of love

Just a light old candy man

Making the game, my Lord

Cold blue steel limousine

Moving through the broken dream

Never saying what they mean

But just behind the smoky glass

The shadow can't be seen

They try to keep you guessing all the time

They try to keep you standing there in line

They love to drive you crazy

They love to blow your mind

Peppermint Candy Man

Playing the games of love

Just a light old candy man

Making the game, my Lord

That's right, he's a Peppermint Candy Man

Making the game, my Lord

Just a light old candy man

Making the game, my Lord

Deep within the marble hall

Empty shadows on the wall

A one man's magic moves 'em all

But after calling up the King

The candy man's gonna fall

They try to keep 'em standing there in line

They try to keep 'em guessing all the time

Yeah, they love to drive 'em crazy

They love to blow their mind

Peppermint Candy Man

Playing the games of love

Just a light old candy man

Making the game, my Lord

That's right, he's a Peppermint Candy Man

Playing the games of love

Just a light old candy man

Making the game, my Lord...
