oh boy, you tin soldier
fighting all the many little metal men
you call your friends.
oh girl, ballerina
missing all the many little magic moves
he'll be your end.
remember wax was never meant for heat
and hearts will melt when these two fighters meet,
enemies of truth cannot collide
these two will fall and then divide.
you're just a doll, a candle, he will cut right through.
and soldier know this dance will be the death of you.
you'll find me in hot water, waiting with words
i'll whisper, you're bitter, and all the smiling hurts.
tin soldier firewater,
ballerinas can drown.
you're drinking, like sinking, singing christmas songs.
doll eyes meet, lies so sweet
you dress your own wounds.
i'm lost love, rise above, dirty dove, gone wrong.
i'm in your hand, you're in mine
oh boy, drunken soldier, i've danced away lines.
snow covers the tracks,
we're our own favorite toys
we'll get away again,
never find your way back.
