The Crust Exchange

[Intro]
[Verse]
Boots on the pine floor.
Stomping out the score.
Caramel on my sleeve.
Hard to believe.
Mrs. Gable’s three-time win.
Wiping sugar from her chin.
She’s the queen of tarts.
Breaking all our hearts.
[Pre-Chorus]
Behind the cotton candy stand.
I saw the tin change hand.
Aide with the shifty eye.
Swapping out the winning pie.
The secret’s in the bake.
A very high-stakes fake.
[Chorus]
Tulle sashes in the breeze.
Cheating with such ease.
My recipe card is torn.
A baker’s quiet scorn.
Blue ribbon, golden crust.
Turning all the gold to dust.
This town is built on lies.
Underneath the summer skies.
[Verse]
Feral cat with yellow eyes.
Waiting for the prize.
Snatched the evidence away.
Ruined the big display.
Splatters on the grass.
Watching the hours pass.
Sticky fingers, hollow soul.
She’s lost all control.
[Pre-Chorus]
Behind the cotton candy stand.
I saw the tin change hand.
Aide with the shifty eye.
Swapping out the winning pie.
The secret’s in the bake.
A very high-stakes fake.
[Chorus]
Tulle sashes in the breeze.
Cheating with such ease.
My recipe card is torn.
A baker’s quiet scorn.
Blue ribbon, golden crust.
Turning all the gold to dust.
This town is built on lies.
Underneath the summer skies.
[Bridge]
I used to love her glaze.
In the early autumn haze.
A little micro-regret.
For the idol I just met.
But the pride is stubborn now.
I won’t even take a bow.
[Chorus]
Tulle sashes in the breeze.
Cheating with such ease.
My recipe card is torn.
A baker’s quiet scorn.
Blue ribbon, golden crust.
Turning all the gold to dust.
This town is built on lies.
Underneath the summer skies.
[Post-Chorus]
Yodel-ay-ee-hoo.
Yodel-ay-ee-hoo.
Blue ribbon blues.
Nothing left to lose.
[Outro]
