Lyrics Ron Sexsmith

Ron Sexsmith

Eye Candy

Sipping on a black Dakota pint

The joint is jumping on a Sunday night

But then something wicked this way comes

Sticking out like two sore thumbs

Eye candy, ear poison

Oh Mother, keep your boys in

'Cause uptown came downtown

And now they keep hanging around

They didn't wanna listen to no band

Why don't they grab a cab back to clubland

Now they're coming on to every guy

Like two drunken socialites

Eye candy, ear poison

Oh Mother, keep your boys in

'Cause uptown came downtown

And now they keep hanging around

It's uncanny what the wind blows in

Oh Brother, you'd think what goes in

Must come out but somehow

It's been dumbed down

And now they're hanging around

You should see the way they dance

Rubbing up against everybody's leg

And like a bad masseuse

Everything they do

Rubs me the wrong way

Well now something wicked this way comes

Sticking out like two sore thumbs

Eye candy, ear poison

Oh Mother, keep your boys in

'Cause high brow came low brow

And our eyebrows they won't ever come down

It can't be, screen's frozen

Oh Brother, keep your nose clean

'Cause upload came download

With a truck load of trouble 'bout to explode

Eye candy, ear poison

Oh Mother, keep your boys in

'Cause uptown came downtown

And now they keep hanging around
