Mind of a Toy

My painted face is chipped and cracked

My mind seems to fade too fast

Clutching straws, sinking slow

Nothing less, nothing less

A puppets motion's controlled by a string

By a stranger I've never met

A nod of the head and a pull of the thread

I can't say no, can't say no

When a child throws down a toy

When I was new you wanted me

Now I'm old, you no longer see

When a child throws down a toy

Spiteful girl, hateful boy

When a child throws down a toy

I'm all dressed up and nowhere to go

Or the music box that never stops

I'll dance for you 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

There's time to die, time to die

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

Spiteful girl, hateful boy

When a child throws down a toy

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

Spiteful girl, hateful boy

When a child throws down a toy
