Barry McGuire — Peppermint Candy Man

Blaming kings upon the hill They never seem to get their fill Tombstone homes and dollar bills Black eagles circling looking for another kill They try to keep you guessing all the time They try to keep you standing there in line They love to drive you crazy They love to blow your mind Peppermint Candy Man Playing the games of love Just a light old candy man Making the game, my Lord That's right, he's a Peppermint Candy Man Playing the games of love Just a light old candy man Making the game, my Lord Cold blue steel limousine Moving through the broken dream Never saying what they mean But just behind the smoky glass The shadow can't be seen They try to keep you guessing all the time They try to keep you standing there in line They love to drive you crazy They love to blow your mind Peppermint Candy Man Playing the games of love Just a light old candy man Making the game, my Lord That's right, he's a Peppermint Candy Man Making the game, my Lord Just a light old candy man Making the game, my Lord Deep within the marble hall Empty shadows on the wall A one man's magic moves 'em all But after calling up the King The candy man's gonna fall They try to keep 'em standing there in line They try to keep 'em guessing all the time Yeah, they love to drive 'em crazy They love to blow their mind Peppermint Candy Man Playing the games of love Just a light old candy man Making the game, my Lord That's right, he's a Peppermint Candy Man Playing the games of love Just a light old candy man Making the game, my Lord...
