Suzanne Vega - Machine Ballerina Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Am I an afternoon's pastime?
  • a thing on a string
  • to be thrown and retrieved
  • like a phone call received
  • on somebody's birthday
  • to tease and delight
  • and then say goodnight
  • and then just say goodbye?
  • Am I a toy on a tray ?
  • a soft piece of clay
  • queen or clown for the day
  • machine ballerina
  • soldier of tin
  • standing so loyal
  • while you sit so royal
  • then I'm put away?
  • For your approval,
  • perusal,
  • and your possible
  • refusal,
  • I'm amusing,
  • I'm a puppet for your play.
  • Am I your Mad Magazine?
  • skin trampoline
  • pin-up pinball machine
  • your fantasy girl
  • of puzzling parts
  • but none fits or starts
  • we match wits but not hearts
  • I'm heard but never seen?
  • For your approval,
  • perusal,
  • and your possible
  • refusal,
  • I'm amusing,
  • I'm a puppet for your play.
