Lyrics

[00:11.09] I’m a wind up toy
[00:13.14] in an up-down world
[00:15.03] if you leave me all alone
[00:16.51] I'll make a mess for sure
[00:18.41] I’ve a heart of gold
[00:20.21] in the smallest size
[00:22.56] leave me in the dark
[00:23.99] you never hear me cry
[00:26.86] more than an illustration
[00:30.53] points of articulation
[00:34.25] come to life on a brass spring
[00:38.11] such a wonderful plaything
[00:42.01] its a cruel cross
[00:43.97] that I have to bear
[00:46.00] if you come a little close
[00:47.71] I’m going to pull your hair
[00:49.54] more than just a toy
[00:51.44] in a patched blue suit
[00:53.65] when you hold me in your arms
[00:55.43] I’m just a boy like you
[00:57.40] but your momma thought
[00:59.14] there was something wrong
[01:01.46] didn’t want you sleeping
[01:03.05] with a boy too long
[01:04.90] It's a serious thing
[01:06.73] in a grown-up world
[01:07.80] maybe you’d be better
[01:11.07] with a Barbie girl
[01:13.72] you knew that
[01:14.53] I adored ya
[01:17.13] but you left me in Georgia
[01:21.24] toys are not sentimental;
[01:26.00] how could i be for rental?
[01:29.06] she’s the meanest hag
[01:31.47] that has ever been
[01:33.76] pulled out my insides
[01:35.16] with an old safety pin
[01:37.11] I’m the sorest sight
[01:39.00] now i feel like trash
[01:41.33] clothes are made of rags
[01:42.77] and they don’t even match
[01:44.69] so she dressed me up
[01:46.46] as the man she loved
[01:48.75] and threw me in a box
[01:50.09] when she had had enough
[01:52.25] now the light of day
[01:54.15] I no longer see
[01:56.68] she stuck her voodoo pins
[01:57.79] where my eyes used to be
[02:01.53] accidentally tragic
[02:05.06] victim of her black magic
[02:09.03] had a boy once who loved me
[02:12.82] now he’s so afraid of me
[02:16.96] on a long lost day
[02:19.12] when you’re grey and old
[02:21.44] you’ll be there remembering
[02:23.34] your old toy boy
[02:24.84] when your only son’s
[02:27.22] wondering what to be
[02:29.21] tell him the story of
[02:30.80] a boy like me
