Metal man of tin so tall Your back is glued upon my wall Your tongue hangs out, a pendulum But the lights are out so I knew you’d come Metal man of tin tonight You make a sound and look contrite Like tears should pour out from your eyes But you’re just a clock that vivifies Metal man with beady eyes I’m scared your promise will materialize My family’s asleep, don’t leave me here I know you can move, I can’t sleep in fear Metal man My eyes are heavy Mama says your just a clock But I see you breathe

Metal Man
Metal man of tin so tall Your back is glued upon my wall Your tongue hangs out, a pendulum But the lights are out so I knew you’d come Metal man of tin tonight You make a sound and look contrite Like tears should pour out from your eyes But you’re just a clock that vivifies Metal man with beady eyes I’m scared your promise will materialize My family’s asleep, don’t leave me here I know you can move, I can’t sleep in fear Metal man My eyes are heavy Mama says your just a clock But I see you breathe
