about

Candy is the first single off the forthcoming album Misters, Devils, and Virgil Wilde.

Misters, Devils, and Virgil Wilde takes place in the psyche of Jack, a man struggling to sing his song in the midst of an aggressive, toxic choir. With a squeal of guitar feedback, a ravaged, rock star channeler named Virgil Wilde appears to Jack. Virgil morphs into each member of the choir, known as the Misters, hoping to dull their power over Jack’s song by doing so. But along the way, Jack is overtaken in moments by the Devil You Know, a polished, mirror image of Virgil, who uses every tactic he can to get Jack to abandon his own unique song.

Inspired by the Inferno by Dante, Misters is a rock ‘n' roll epic, a rollicking action movie musical of the mind, and the story of one man’s journey to confront the toxicity within himself.

lyrics

Alright

You got the number
Oh lover
Don’t you make me wait
First thing in the morning
Don’t you hesitate
I got something new for you, baby
I only need a second
To drive away the crazy
Just the time it takes you
To pick up your phone

You don’t need my name
You just need a fix
Keep the scaries away
So come and get your candy
And never come late
Send sugar sweet fun to your veins
Dopamine
Infinite feed
Always waiting for you there on your screen
Only one sure fire
Way to get the content you need
Come and get your candy

Let your fingers do the talking, baby
Come to me
Oh no matter how you’re feelin’
I always bring you sweet relief
Never mind the pain of others
You’ll be wasting time
Cause white guys never lose their place in line
So relax and kickback!
Dig my recipe

Don't need my name
You just need a fix
Keep the scaries away
So come and get your candy
And never come late
Send sugar sweet fun to your veins
Dopamine
Infinite feed
Always waiting for you there on your screen
Only one sure fire way to get
The content you need
Aw come and get your candy

And don’t you mind this man
Behind your screen
I’ll watch the world burn
While you eat my treats
Now ain’t they tasty
It can’t be beat
Now now now
Let your thumbs
Bow down to me

You don’t need my name
You just need a fix
Keep the scaries away
So come and get your candy
And never come late
Send sugar sweet fun to your veins
No drug, no drink works like
The goods you get from me
You can’t deny it
Won’t you
Come!
Satisfy the beast
Come and get your candy

(Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh)

Come and get your candy

(Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh)

Now won't you come and get your candy

(Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh)

(Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh)

Take me now!
Come on!
Come on!
Yeah!
