~Toy Box~
Wind-up soldier
A cast-off boy
My new muse
Another's broken toy
Little porcelain girl
My favourite doll
China heart shattered
It couldn't take the fall
Broken Jack-In-The-Box
Surprise is almost never there
She had always loved so freely
Her heart was prone to tear
Colourful spinning top
Silently goes round and round
Inside she's pleadingly screaming
But you'll never hear a sound
Little tiny yellow cat
Buttons for blue eyes
Can't see his own beauty
His hindered sight lies
Though they are all broken
My favourite girls and boys
I love them all dearly, because
They're my misfit toys
A cast-off boy
My new muse
Another's broken toy
Little porcelain girl
My favourite doll
China heart shattered
It couldn't take the fall
Broken Jack-In-The-Box
Surprise is almost never there
She had always loved so freely
Her heart was prone to tear
Colourful spinning top
Silently goes round and round
Inside she's pleadingly screaming
But you'll never hear a sound
Little tiny yellow cat
Buttons for blue eyes
Can't see his own beauty
His hindered sight lies
Though they are all broken
My favourite girls and boys
I love them all dearly, because
They're my misfit toys
