Lyrics

Plasticine

A glance at a frame, a token of you
And I'm alone in my bed, a voice in my head
She couldn't have been all that I wanted to do
But we couldn't wait for the sculpture to set

How could it all come down to me? (How could it all?)
I'll make a world we'll never leave

You wear my clothes way better than me
So I put them all on your figurine
But you're not done, you're incomplete
I can see you
Then if you change your mind, then you know where I'll be
Grinning ear to ear in your guillotine
And when I'm gone, we'll reconvene, I am with you

We're all plasticine
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
We're all plasticine
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

The way that we talk is all that I know
So I built all the rooms of the house that I left
We stand in the doorway with no place to go
And nothing to show but some moulds on my desk

How could it all come down to me? (How could it all?)
I'll make a world where I can grieve

You wear my clothes way better than me
So I put them all on your figurine
But you're not done, you're incomplete
I can see you
Then if you change your mind, then you know where I'll be
Grinning ear to ear in your guillotine
And when I'm gone, we'll reconvene, I am with you

We're all plasticine
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
We're all plasticine
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
