Analysis of The Cotton Candy Lovers
All those precious girls
handing out their underskirts
One by one to feel the fingers
the spitting stringent rain
All those precious girls
blowing out their minds
with a little pill
with a little gulp
with a little informed consent
and yet still losing all the same
I know so well these peeling sports
My trophies cough up names
