Mannequin - HMLTD

I found her in the parking lot

By high-end fashion boutique bins

And ever since

We fell in love, I’ve had the urge

To proffer her a wedding ring

But it’s the strangest thing

If she were made of flesh and bones

And hair and skin and keratin

Oh, is it such a sin?

But plastic eyes, and plastic limbs

And metal joints and fingertips

Oh, she’s a mannequin

She’s a mannequin (x4)

How I wish

She would come to life

She would be my wife

But she’s a mannequin

Like a man

Like a normal man

She would take my hand and sing to me

But she’s a mannequin

If she were made of flesh and bones

And hair and skin and keratin

But she’s a mannequin

But plastic eyes, and plastic limbs

And metal joints and fingertips

But she’s a mannequin

She’s a mannequin

How I wish

She would come to life

She would be my light

But she’s a mannequin

She’s a mannequin (x4)

How I wish

I would come to life

I would be a wife

But she’s a mannequin

Like a man

Like a normal man

I would see beneath your ugly skin

But she’s a mannequin

And I look into her eyes

Her eyes that never judge

Or forge a brand new path

A path that ends in love

But never laugh again

Or she will deep within

I’m just a normal man

She’s a mannequin
