Manikin Parade -

Keep your thoughts inside

A warmer place to think and hide

Don’t let their fickle minds try to understand your messed up life

A suit to fit all types;

stretch it long or stretch it wide

Eventually, we look the same -- we dare not teeter on the edge

And once more I feel like a child in the summer time

Free from anguish, free from angst.

Free to live my life again

A playground where I live alone, away from wanting more and more

Sell me life, sell me earth, a soul for sale, for what it’s worth

Today’s buzz word is change, but you all remain pathetically the same!

You can only change yourself

Run little one -- keep running far away until darkness finally fades away!

Sell me life.

Sell me your lies for a price

Give me more.

Give me much more than I need

Make me into a manikin

Some assembly required

Save me from the shameless charade

(Take away your humanity)

Help me melt this manikin parade!

(Become part of the manikin parade)

Can you hear their little feet?

Like dolls dancing into hell

Not enough aisles to feed our need

Can you hear God through that iPod?

Save me from the shameless charade

(Take away your humanity)

Help me melt this manikin parade!
