Candy talks to strangers   Thinks her life's in danger   No one gives a damn about her hair      It's lonely down on track street   She used to go by Jackie   The cops, they'll steal your dreams   And they'll kill your prayers      Take a number where the blood just barely dried   Wait for something better   No one behind you, watching your shadows   This feeling won't go      Crooked wheels keep turnin'   Children, are you learnin'?   Climatize but don't you lose the plot      A history of blisters   Your brothers and your sisters   Somewhere in the pages we forgot      Take a number, Jackie   Where the blood just barely dried   You know I'm on your side      Wait for something better   No one behind you   Watching your shadows   You gotta be stronger than the stories      Don't let it blind you   Rivers of shadow   This feeling won't go      And the sky is full of dreams   But you don't know how to fly   I don't have a simple answer   But I know that I could answer something better      This feeling won't go   Wait for it, wait for it   Wait for it, wait for it   Something better
