Ice Cream Man lyrics

Why do you scoff so?

Blaring out that tune

Mocking empty pockets

And foolish desires

The confectionary pusher

That diary-like drug

So colourful and cold

Taunts on a hot day

Children resort to beg

Borrow or steal

To sequester souls

Addicted to sweetness

Parents curse you

Children worship you

Neighborhoods ringing

Tinny troubling tones

The cost for but one

The price for all else

In the market of value

Lost in melting gain

Violated by a stranger

What lessons have we

For a worn down truck

With untraceable funds
