Mind Of A Toy - Visage

My painted face

Is chipped and cracked

My mind seems

To fade too fast

Clutching straws

Sinking slow

Nothing less, nothing less

A puppet’s motions

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 out a toy

When I was new you wanted me

Now I’m old you no longer see

When a child throws out a toy

Spiteful girl

Hateful boy

When a child throws out a toy

I’m all dressed up

And nowhere to go

On a 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

It’s time to die, time to die

When a child throws out a toy

When I was new you wanted me

Now I’m old you no longer see

When a child throws out a toy

Spiteful girl

Hateful boy

When a child throws out a toy

(Instrumental)

When a child throws out a toy

When I was new you wanted me

Now I’m old you no longer see

When a child throws out a toy

Spiteful girl

Hateful boy

When a child throws out a toy

(fades to music box)
