candy cane walks down
to build a bonfire, to break my fall
my baby, my sweet thing
just maybe we could lose ourselves this time
king of the horseflies, dark prince of death
his tragic forces are heaven sent
in sweet things, in a lovers breath
in knowing this was meant to be the last
a go-go-kids, a go-go-style
a suck suck kiss, a suck suck smile
as always, in youn gneed
a velied promise to never die
on dead highways, her black beauties roam
for june angels, so far from home
for a love lost, a faded picture
to tread lightning, to ink the lavender skies
so get on the bomb
get back where you belong
to build a bonfire, to break my fall
my baby, my sweet thing
just maybe we could lose ourselves this time
king of the horseflies, dark prince of death
his tragic forces are heaven sent
in sweet things, in a lovers breath
in knowing this was meant to be the last
a go-go-kids, a go-go-style
a suck suck kiss, a suck suck smile
as always, in youn gneed
a velied promise to never die
on dead highways, her black beauties roam
for june angels, so far from home
for a love lost, a faded picture
to tread lightning, to ink the lavender skies
so get on the bomb
get back where you belong

candy cane walks down
"Candy Cane" is the drug (e.g. a pill) which is consumed (swallowed) and "walks down" your throat
to build a bonfire, to break my fall
The drug builds a bonfire inside you, it makes you feel warm and good and forget your depression ("fall")
my baby, my sweet thing
just maybe we could lose ourselves this time
When you're addicted the drug is your baby, your everything and you wish to escape from reality with that baby.
king of the horseflies, dark prince of death
his tragic forces are heaven sent
in sweet things, in a lovers breath
in knowing this was meant to be the last
Now it comes to the dark side of the drug. The "king of the horseflies, dark prince of death" usually means the devil and in this case the evil power of the drug. Its forces are "tragic", but if you're a drug addict or have serious mental problems they are "heaven sent", i.e. they give you relief.
And "knowing this was meant to be the last" refers to the addict cheating himself with the promise that it will be the last time he uses the drug everytime he takes it.
a go-go-kids, a go-go-style,
a suck suck kiss, a suck suck smile
Doublemeaning: It describes sucking on the candy cane, i.e. the drug, and the suck (shitty, fake) emotions (love, happiness) that the drug simulates. I'm not sure about the "go-go"-style but it may also refer to the rush of fake emotions and the feeling of almightiness the drug causes.
as always, in young need
a velied promise to never die
Just after you used it the drug gives you the feeling you're immortal.
on dead highways, her black beauties roam
for june angels, so far from home
for a love lost, a faded picture
to tread lightning, to ink the lavender skies
The drugs ("black beauties") are always finding their way to (young) people, who got lost somehow ("june angels far from home") and go through a crisis, especially when relationships fail("a lover lost, a faded picture") to bring a very short moment of light and false emotions to their souls ("to tread lightning, to ink the lavender skies").
so get on the bomb
get back where you belong
You have taken the drug, you know exactly what is going to happen and that it is very dangerous ("bomb").
But you belong there because you're an addict and you don't deserve it any better.
