Three boats down from the candy   Vacant deck chairs on a floodlit beach   Three boats down from the candy   Rollers coast invade the deepest sleep   Three boats down from the candy   Carnal dancer let their senses preach      It's a social disease, it's the new moral cancer   Don't think crying wolf will give you the answer      You ask for my love on the strength of a kiss   But can't you just play for experience?   I'm a poet, I'm a poet, I'm a minstrel, I'm a minstrel   I don't need your chains   Romance lies in ruin, let debauchery reign, let it rain      Wipe the tears from your eyes   Wipe the sweat from your thighs   Don't crawl to me with sentiment   My laughter drowns your cries      You're a memory trapped on Polaroid   A puppet drawn on celluloid   So drink the wine, confess your sin   Just flotsam in a silent void      Three boats down from the candy   I'll remember you   Three boats down from the candy   Much to much to lose      Three boats down from the candy   Those words were never true   Three boats down from the candy   I'll remember you   I'll remember you, I'll remember you
