The Crayon Song

It's 3 a.m. and the conversation's spent
 She's waiting on the bedside wrapped within the static wind
 And she's got powders and pills
 Chasing thrills through dollar bills
 Tracing lines off her reflection with her senses so distilled
 As she drifts on through this dream
 She can share her medication but she can't out run the rain
 When clearly here she stands with candy in her hands
 She offers up the pixie dust and separates the sand
 And I'll say "It's alright. No need to ask me twice"
 She spins the ring so she can sing the crayon song tonight
 She's gonna sing the crayon song tonight
 When she calls, you can find her in the hall
 Where she's scribbling a picture she hangs crooked on the wall
 She's framing false alarms until her chamber mates have gone
 Then she'll sleep beside the music box whose tune keeps playing on
 Her behavior seems insane
 'Cause we both know you might overdose
 From trying to kill the pain
 But lately here we stand with candy in our hands
 Let's mix us up some pixie dust and sprinkle on the sand
 We'll just say it's alright 'til once turns into twice
 Let's spin the ring so we can sing the crayon song tonight
 We're gonna sing the crayon song tonight
 I'm off to wander with my lover
 In her bag of pretty colors
 Off to wander with my lover
 In her bag of pretty colors
 Fan the flame and a race another day
 She'll be running all the red lights 'til the candles melt away
 Along this empty road where the flowers never grow
 Casting shadows drenched in sorrow from a life
 She'll spend alone until the sunshine sets her free
 It appears that you've been down so long, it looks like up to me
 But sadly here I stand with candy in my hands
 I mixed up with the pixie dust and sinking in the sand
 And something's not quite right
 Sometimes you should think twice
 I spun the rings and now I'll sing the crayon song all night
 I'm gonna sing the crayon song tonight
 I'm off to wander with my lover
 In her bag of pretty colors
 Off to wander with my lover
 In her bag of pretty colors
