Toy boy

Toy boy
I’m a wind up toy
in an up-down world
if you leave me all alone
I'll make a mess for sure
I’ve a heart of gold
in the smallest size
leave me in the dark
you never hear me cry

PRECHORUS 1:
more than an illustration
points of articulation
come to life on a brass spring
such a wonderful plaything
VERSE 2:
its a cruel cross
that I have to bear
if you come a little close
I’m going to pull your hair
more than just a toy
in a patched blue suit
when you hold me in your arms
I’m just a boy like you
but your momma thought
there was something wrong
didn’t want you sleeping
with a boy too long
It's a serious thing
in a grown-up world
maybe you’d be better
with a Barbie girl
PRECHORUS 2
you knew that
I adored ya
but you left me in Georgia
toys are not sentimental;
how could i be for rental?
VERSE 3
she’s the meanest hag
that has ever been
pulled out my insides
with an old safety pin

I’m the sorest sight
now i feel like trash
clothes are made of rags
and they don’t even match
so she dressed me up
as the man she loved
and 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
PRECHORUS 3
accidentally tragic
victim of her black magic
had a boy once who loved me
now he’s so afraid of me
VERSE 4
on a long lost day
when you’re grey and old
you’ll be there remembering
your old toy boy
when your only son’s
wondering what to be
tell him the story of
a boy like me
oooooooo
oooooooo
'Toy Boy' de Mika es una canción que narra la historia de un muñeco de cuerda en un mundo inestable, cuyo corazón de oro late en tamaño miniatura. A pesar de su apariencia juguetona, el muñeco es más que una simple ilustración, con puntos de articulación que cobran vida en un resorte de latón, convirtiéndose en un maravilloso juguete....
