Lyrics
Mind of a Toy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My painted face is chipped and scratched
My mind seems to fade too fast
Clutching straws, sinking slow
Nothing lasts, nothing lasts
A puppets motion controlled by a string
By a stranger I've never met
A nod of the head and a pull of a thread
I can't say no, can't say no
Chorus:
When a child throws down a toy
When I was new you wanted me
Now I'm old you no longer see me
When a child throws down a toy
Spite for girl, hate for boy
When a child throws out a toy
I'm all dressed up and no where to go
On a music box that never stop
I'll dance for if you want me to
Move in time, move in time
A wooden head and a broken heart
Used, abused and torn apart
I gave you my best and you gave me the rest
It's time to dye, time to dye
(chorus x3 fading...)
