Of what Dused to be a Gsugar-free
AmHalf-melted bag of TasCtationGs
That hard candy Dsensation
It's sweeping the Anation
And it Dputs my mind in Gtraction
I'm subDsisting on a Gfraction
And I Dclose my eyes Gand preAmtend
I'm on CvacatGion
But while it melts in my Dmouth
I'm still driving Asouth
In a TV Nation

Like a bad Chaircut
Or a glass of cold Dwater
Shouldn't I Csay what I really shouldn't Doughta
You spend half a Cday in
Some of these Dplaces
Like a flash of white Clight
That's in front of our Dfaces
A state of periCstalsis or a parastatic Dstasis
And we're off to the Craces
Oh Dyeah and we're off to the Craces
Oh Dyeah and we're off to the Craces
DYeah and we're off to Cthe races
