Coin Operated Boy by The Dresden Dolls

 

Coin, Operated Boy

sitting on the shelf

he is just a toy

but I turn him on

and he comes to life

automatic joy

that is why I want a

 

Coin, Operated Boy...

 

made of plastic and elastic

he is rugged and long-lasting

who could ever ever ask for more

love without complications galore

many shapes and weights to choose from

I will never leave my bedroom

I will never cry at night again

wrap my arms around him and pretend....

 

Coin, Operated Boy...

 

all the other real

ones that I destroy

cannot hold a candle

to my new boy and i'll

never let him go...

and I'll never be alone

not with my....

 

Coin, Operated Boy...

 

this bridge was written to make you feel smittener

with my sad picture of boy getting bitterer

can you extract me from my plastic fantasy

I didnt think so but I"m still convinceable

will you persist even after I bet you

a billion dollars that I'll never love you

will you persist even after I kiss you

goodbye for the last time

will you keep on trying

to prove it?

I'm dying

I'm losing

My confidence

I want it

 

I want it

 

I want a ..

 

I want a....

 

Coin, Operated Boy...

 

and if I had a star to wish on

for my life I cant imagine

any flesh and blood could be his match

I can even take him in the bath

 

Coin, Operated Boy...

 

he may not be real

but I know he feels

like a boy should feel

isn't that the point

that is why I want a

 

Coin, Operated Boy...

 

with his pretty coin

operated voice

saying that he loves me

that hes thinking of me

straight and to the point

 

that is why I want a

 

 

Coin, Operated Boy....

 

 

Yeah i know it sounds corny But hey man at least

I know I wont be cheated on and have my heart broken again.

Why did he cheat on me? I caught him and him in my treehouse

and.......damn I gave him all a boy could give him but guess it turned

out to be Tainted Love. Gawd I'm soo depressed My heart is so shattered

and I'm afraid to fall in love again.. But I'll get over it eventually
