Manikins never die

Shove your knife on me, one last time
It's just a matter of time, the pain will subside
After all we manikins never die
Cut me into pieces, you can never see me cry
Cut me into pieces, you'll find it's empty inside
Go ahead and hurt me a thousand times
I'll just serve you with a smile
After all we manikins never die
Lock me outside my house
Leave me in the rain, just like a sign
Treat me like a dog with no human heart
Make me wag my tale, just to make you smile
Say parish and I'll die
All of this in the name of love
I'm afraid if I speak, what I'll lose
So I'll just stand there idle until I'm told what to do
After all we manikins never die
Red roses for your sweet smile
Roll me and toss me like a dice
That's how you play your game of being nice
Go into my pockets and take all my hard worked for dime
I'm afraid if I speak up, what I'll lose
Go ahead cheat on me behind my back, cause I can't move
Go ahead take my best friend and continue to do what you do
Go ahead hurt me a thousand times
I'll just serve you with a smile
After all we manikins never die
