Wind Up Toy Lyrics

Voices come from down the hall In my room all painted white I have my bat and rubber ball I like to sleep with them at night But now I'm all smiles The good little shots must be winning Yes, they crank my dial My motor's stalled but my wheels are still spinning Chorus: Daddy won't discuss me What a state I must be Mommy couldn't stand Living with a wind-up toy All my friends live on the floor Tiny legs and tiny eyes They're free to crawl under the door And...and someday soon...so will I But now I'm all smiles These good little shots must be working I'm so happy now (*he's so happy...) Look, my fingers don't shake and my head isn't jerking Chorus: Daddy won't discuss me What a pain I must be Mommy couldn't stand Having such a wind-up boy Chorus: Doctors want to check me Poke me and dissect me What do they expect? Feelings from a wind-up toy? I don't think so I'm just a wind-up toy A wind-up toy... I'm lost in a nightmare Shiny white halls Drawing rats on the wall Solitary confinement Chained in a cell Got my own private Hell... Preacher crucifies me Warden wants to fry me I was never young Never just a little boy Chorus: Daddy won't discuss me What a pain I must be Mama couldn't stand Having such a wind-up boy I'm just a wind-up toy I'm a wind-up toy I'm just a wind-up toy... I'm just a wind-up toy... I'm just a wind-up toy Chorus (fade...) Wind-up toy...(fade out...) "What comes here is the night..." "I see them - don't you see them?" "Hmm, that's hard, isn't it" "I'm so tired, I'm laying down." "You have to go now - it's bed time!"
