King's X · Ear Candy [1996]
put it all together, and this is what I get
Kinda like an acid trip you'd take in '69
When it was stronger
Looked in the mirror and this is what I see,
no matter how hard I try I just can't let it be,
cut off all my dreadlocks and now I'm
feeling free, here comes my neighbor.

Everywhere I turn seems like another trap,
Sent a death sentence to my own address,
I thought I could do it, but now I know I can't,
wish I could just go away
Yeah I watch the sun setting in the west
probably a thousand times and every one was best,
Lone ranger desperado following the tracks,
life after rock-n-roll.
Life is getting better, and I don't want to cry.
I get too embarrassed when my eyes are just too dry
Manic manipulation I play it all the time,
rocky mountain.

During this era, the group focused on tighter song structures and polished production values, aiming for broader appeal while retaining their signature instrumental prowess. The recording captures the band at a pivotal moment of evolution, balancing their established heavy sound with a more direct, radio-friendly delivery. This period remains a significant chapter in their discography, highlighting their versatility and willingness to experiment with different musical landscapes without abandoning their core identity.
