Mind of a Toy
PETER ANSELM EGAN, MIDGE URE, BILLY CURRIE, JOHN MCGEOGH, STEVE STRANGE, DAVE FORMULA
My painted face is chipped and cratcked
My mind seems to fade too fast
Clutching straws, sinking slow
Nothing lasts, nothing lasts
A puppets motions 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
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 die, time to die
