[Verse 1]
Voices come from down the hall
In my room all painted white
I have my bat and rubber ball
I like to sleep with them at night
[Pre-Chorus]
But now I'm all smiles
The good little shots must be winning
Yes, they crank my dial
My motor is stalled but my wheels are still spinning
[Chorus]
Daddy won't discuss me
What a state I must be
Mommy couldn't stand
Living with a wind-up toy
[Verse 2]
All my friends live on the floor
Tiny legs and tiny eyes
They're free to crawl under the door
And, and someday soon so will I
[Pre-Chorus]
But now I'm all smiles
These good little shots must be working
I'm so happy now
Look, my fingers don't shake and my head isn't jerking
[Chorus]
Daddy won't discuss me
What a pain I must be
Mommy couldn't stand
Having such a wound-up boy
Doctors want to check me
Poke me and dissect me
What do they expect?
Feelings from a wound-up toy?
I don't think so, I'm just a wound-up toy
I'm just a wind-up toy
[Bridge]
I'm lost in a nightmare
Shiny white halls
Drawing rats on the wall
Solitary confinement
Chained in a cell
Got my own private hell
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Preacher crucifies me
Warden wants to fry me
I was never young
Never just a little boy
Daddy won't discuss me
What a pain I must be
Mama couldn't stand
Having such a wound-up boy
I'm just a wind-up toy, I'm a wind-up toy
I'm just a wind-up toy, I'm just a wind-up toy
[Outro]
"They come here every night
I see them. Don't you see them?
Hmm, that's odd, isn't it?
I'm so tired, I'm winding down
You'll have to go now, it's bedtime!"
"Steven..."
