Needles in the Candy

LYRICS

Needles in the candy

Light the candle. Heat the pin. Red hot glowing. Push it in.

Needles in the candy

Wrap it up. Reseal the glue. Twist the ends tight. Just like new.

Knock knock who's there? Well, come on in. Have a piece of my mortal sin.

Needles in the candy

STORY BEHIND THE SONG:

This song was made for Halloween. I think people are relieved to find that out. It was written for the Halloween of 2002 - 4 months before Matt and I started playing with Eric. We were playing with this guy who calles himself Zed Salt as Thrumble, but still doing our own stuff on the side as plankton. This was a plankton song but Zed liked it and wanted to throw in, so he's on here playing a banjo and singing background vocals. We split with him one week before we started playing with Eric. Eric re-recorded the drums for the release of 2003. People seem to like it. It was especially thrilling to get to play it at Pat's crazy Halloween party! The fog machine really put it over the top.
