MIKA - Toy Boy (CD Version)

Paroles/Lyrics :

Im a wind-up toy in an up down world
If you leave me all alone, Ill make a mess for sure
Ive a heart of gold in the smallest size
Leave me in the dark, youll never hear me cry

More than an illustration
Points of articulation
Come to life on a brass spring
Such a wonderful plaything

Its a cruel cross that I have to bear
If you come a little close Im going to pull your hair
More than just a toy in a patch-blue suit
Hold me in your arms Im just a boy like you

But your mama thought there was somethin wrong
Didnt want you sleeping with a boy too long
Its a serious thing in a grown-up world
Maybe youd be better with a Barbie girl

You were that I adored-ya
But you left me in Georgia
Toys are not sentimental
How could I be for rental?

Shes the meanest hag that has ever been
Pulled out my insides with an old safety pin
Im the sorest sight, now I feel like trash
Clothes are made of rags and they dont even match

So she dressed me up as the man she loved
Then threw me in a box when she had had enough
Now the light of day I no longer see
She stuck her voodoo pins where my eyes used to be

Accidentally tragic
Victim of her black magic
Had a boy once who loved me
Now he's so afraid of me

On a long lost day when you're gray and dull
You'll be there remembering your old toy boy
When your oldest son wonderin' what to be
Tell him the story of a boy like me
