Toy Matinee - The Toy Matinee

Текст песни

What are we doing today?
Some serious thoughts I could weigh
A fish or a mountain to scale
I’m a slow-burning man
But always too faithful to choose
With minor persuade, I’ll join the parade instead
And play with the toys in my mind gone away
And laugh at the cheapness, the toy matinee
The orchestra tunes to an A below
The overture builds to a vertigo
And everyone’s holding their breath
The show has begun
The shepherd of pettiness winks
The audience loves what he thinks
Peanuts for all in the house
We’re so easy to please, please
Pleas from the crowd to go on
Waltzing away, a mindless array instead
Take a slap in the face from the toys of the day
While everyone watches the toy matinee
And play with the toys in my mind gone away
While everyone watches the toy matinee
