Ticking off the days of the calendar Watching them fall away In a neat little pile on the kitchen shelf Next to the microwave You walk in and I look away Hoping to disappear If I meet yr eyes then it multiplies Until your kindness draws me near Skipping ahead in a mystery To know how the deed was done I was shocked to see when the killer went free The detective ate his gun There was blood on the wall And a curtain call As I planned my escape Like a diamond shines in the darkest mine The spotlight found my face Destroy me Tin toy me Or so they say One time he Let tiny dreams slip away Ticking off the days of the calendar Watching the numbers fade And they blow around the room Like a burst balloon still trying to fly away There’s a hole in the sky Where you go when you die I hear good things happen there We could leave today But I forgot the way It was written on the air Destroy me Tin toy me Or so they say One time he Let tiny dreams slip away
