[Verse 1] Striped walls breathing Licorice vines on the ceiling Every step Sinks in syrup Slow and sweet Paper smiles peeling On the chocolate river railing Someone laughs But their voice drags offbeat [Chorus] Sugar-coated Sugar-coated nightmare Candy teeth and cherry-stained glare Golden ticket Straight into the dark Lick the wall and taste your heart Sugar-coated Sugar-coated nightmare Carousel eyes Glassy and scared Round and round Till the colors fall apart (fall apart) [Verse 2] Glass doors stretching Like a jaw unhinged and flexing Marshmallow clouds Drip wax on my skin Oompa shadows Marching in a warped crescendo Hands of clocks Clap and pull me in [Chorus] Sugar-coated Sugar-coated nightmare Candy teeth and cherry-stained glare Golden ticket Straight into the dark Lick the wall and taste your heart Sugar-coated Sugar-coated nightmare Carousel eyes Glassy and scared Round and round Till the colors fall apart (oh, fall apart) [Bridge] Room full of prizes All with my face Gumdrops with secrets I never gave away He says “Try one” Voice made of grin I bite down slowly And the lights crawl in (yeah) [Chorus] Sugar-coated Sugar-coated nightmare Candy teeth and cherry-stained glare Golden ticket Straight into the dark Lick the wall and taste your heart Sugar-coated Sugar-coated nightmare Carousel eyes Glassy and scared Round and round Till the colors fall apart (till the colors fall, till the colors fall apart)
