Verse 1
Stumbled off the bus on Mariposa
The asphalt started breathing slow
A mailbox grew a hundred teeth
And winked at me like it had somewhere to go
Pre-Chorus
The payphone rang a color I could taste
A stranger's shadow wore my face
I counted doors that weren't there
I swear
Chorus
Candy-coated nightmare
Sugar on my tongue
Candy-coated nightmare
Everything's a lie that's having fun
Sweet and wrong
Sweet and wrong
Verse 2
The taillights turned to licorice
The traffic hummed a lullaby
A stray dog spoke in cursive
Then politely asked me why
Pre-Chorus
The moon dripped down like taffy
A cop car bloomed a thousand eyes
I waved at every mirror
Goodbye
Chorus
Candy-coated nightmare
Sugar on my tongue
Candy-coated nightmare
Everything's a lie that's having fun
Sweet and wrong
Sweet and wrong
Bridge
Gumdrop gutter chewing slow
Bubblegum across the road
Nothing here is what it seems
Mariposa's made of dreams
That bite back
Chorus
Candy-coated nightmare
Sugar on my tongue
Candy-coated nightmare
Everything's a lie that's having fun
Sweet and wrong
Sweet and wrong
Outro
Sweet and wrong
Sweet and wrong
(Mariposa)
Sweet and wrong
