| At the traffic light was a figurine
|
| Rough around the edge, solid evergreen
|
| Leaning to the side, holding up an arc
|
| Facing straight ahead, blank without a spark
|
| It shifts and twists, and suddenly practically gives in
|
| But standing next to him, similar molding
|
| Was a plastic twin, replica phantom
|
| «Ready warrior?» |
| Stuck inside it’s head
|
| «You need discipline!» |
| Soldier on a thread
|
| Not a doll, a polymer popular play thing
|
| No make believe, no luxury, rubbery repeat
|
| Locked in one hand, I deal in the other
|
| Two positions on the same subject
|
| Look sideways and see that silicone study
|
| Is that what you need? |
| That muted body?
|
| It shifts and twists, and suddenly practically gives in
|
| Oh ragged little doll, made of porcelain
|
| Posable and small, breakable and thin
|
| Spider heard her talk, tied a webber’s knot
|
| Who is in the lead, what is at the top
|
| Not a doll, a polymer popular play thing
|
| No make believe, no luxury, rubbery repeat
|
| He said:
|
| The channel changes by itself (la la la)
|
| The TV’s blaring at me (la la la)
|
| Said it’s making a copy (la la la)
|
| A robot flick at mother earth but
|
| The wire isn’t connected (la la la)
|
| An imitation you see (la la la)
|
| A parody of the real life, (la la la)
|
| And it just isn’t, isn’t me
|
| I saw a pattern in the impression of the face
|
| That wrinkly complexion never looked the same
|
| Split between two things: conscious, balancing
|
| That subtle mental link. |
| Carbon copy me!
|
| It shifts and twists, and suddenly practically gives in
|
| But waiting in the room, somewhere way outback
|
| Banging with his spoon, standing on his head
|
| Insect wannabe, ground itself to thin
|
| With certain guarantee, horse became human
|
| Not a doll, a polymer popular play thing
|
| No make believe, no luxury, rubbery repeat
|
| The channel changes by itself (la la la)
|
| The TV’s blaring at me (la la la)
|
| Said it’s making a copy (la la la)
|
| A robot flick at mother earth but
|
| The wire isn’t connected (la la la)
|
| An imitation you see (la la la)
|
| A parody of the real life, (la la la)
|
| And it just isn’t, isn’t me |
