the little mechanical man
has finally run down
he sits slumped in the chair
head hanging feet splayed
broken and dented
the little mechanical man is no more
for so many years he just keep leaping up and goin
but no more
for so long he retained the bounce back
from every pointless throw at the wall punch
every dark road with no end
every lie that some hand at the end of the road
to grasp
but toys break eventually if you don't take good care
didn't momma tell you that
now look
poor little mechanical man
is broken
wont wind up and run anymore
i cant get up and run anymore
so you can quit playing with me god
and put me with the rest of
the broken toys
waiting to go to the trash
