Sex and Candy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hanging around, downtown by myself
And I had so much time to sit and think about myself
And then there she was, like double cherry pie
Yeah, there she was, like disco super-fly
[Chorus]
I smell sex and candy here, mmm
Who's that lounging in my chair? Mmm
Who's that casting devious stares in my direction?
Momma this surely is a dream, yeah
Yeah, momma this surely is a dream, dig it
[Verse 2]
Hanging around, downtown by myself
And I've had too much caffeine, and I was thinking about myself
And then there she was, in platform double suede
Yeah, there she was, like disco lemonade
[Chorus]
I smell sex and candy here, mmhmmm
Who's that lounging in my chair? Mmhmmm
Who's that casting devious stares in my direction?
Momma this surely is a dream, yeah
Yeah, momma this surely is a dream, dig it
Yeah, momma this surely is a dream, yeah
[Chorus]
I smell sex and candy here, mmhmmm
Who's that lounging in my chair? Mmhmmm
Who's that casting devious stares in my direction?
Momma this surely, is a dream, yeah
Yeah, momma this surely is a dream, dig it
Yeah, momma this surely is a dream, yeah
Yeah, momma this must be my dream

What did lead vocalist John Wozniak say about the music video?
I didn’t invent the video. That’s Jamie Caliri. That guy actually is great. He’s trippy, man. He’s Mario Calire’s brother – you know, Mario Calire from the Wallflowers. Jamie actually makes films. He did the Morphine video called “Early To Bed,” which is one of my favorite videos from the ‘90s. He’s...
