The Music Box thats spinning in my head is broken down
collecting dust and sitting in the attic
wishing she could make a sound
for the lonely man that left her on the ground
and she cries love love love love
love you let me down
in retrospect he never should have stole her to begin
but her smile was so cathartic in comparison to his awkward grin
that all he'ed do for hours and hours was just watch her spin
until she sent him sent him to the looney bin
sent him to the looney bin
And she cried love love let me in
its good to see you again
you know that I don't sing for anyone but you
la da da
da da da la da dittily do
The therapist said damn this man is crazy as Van Goh
we'll schedule a lobotomy so tell his family let him know
the man who will return from here will have much less to show
but he'll be tactile, docile, a little boring though
the Music box spoke up now and said who are you to say
that this man needs some adjusting maybe everything he sees is grey including you but he is happy when he looks my way
and i can calm his confused cortex any day
please don't change my man I love him anyway
And she cried love love let me in
its good to see you again
you know that I don't sing for anyone but you
la da da
da da da la da dittily do
the grandiloquent Sesquipedalian doctor had his way
soon after the procedure the man threw the music box away
then man who felt for nothing but that box had this to say
then in the waiting room his family's sweaty palms where grasped
they wondered how his mood would change
how long the procedure would at last the doors swung open and his daughter ran up fast
and he just stood there stood there allowing time to pass
stood there stood there allowing time to pass
And she cried "Daddy, Daddy! where have you been? It's good to see you again
you know that I don't spin for anyone but you
la da da
da da da la da dittily do
