"What Makes Me Tick" lyrics
JT Music Lyrics
(Poppy Playtime Song)
(feat. Andrea Storm Kaden)
As I dust of all these cobwebs
I guess it's been some time
Since I had my last polish
But I've still not lost my shine
We've only got one life to waste
So why not find more time to play?
Where did everyone go? Uh oh
Are they hiding? Should I seek 'em?
Why am I all alone? Oh no
My heart has sprung a leak
It must because it was broke, now I'm sour
But the rain is good for the flowers
My petals fell and then I felt it click
What makes me tick
Thought you got off no trouble?
I'm ready to pop your bubble
'Cause I'm no toy, but boy, oh boy
How bad you had me played
I'm fixing to patch up myself
No sticking me back on my shelf
This lonely doll is going all Pinocchio insane
Gepetto's chains have long enslaved me
I cut the strings from which you hanged me
Now your pretty puppet isn't so ideal
'Cause all you've ever been enamored with
Was a girl who was perfectly inanimate
So I faked it 'till I could make it awfully real
Now you wonder where did all the love go? Uh oh
Like I'm the one who lost it
If it was a puzzle, uh oh
You'll never be the one to solve it
Don't you keep this doll all locked up
Playing house just makes me sick
I've been wound up, broken down, but
That was how I found out just what makes me tick
You'd better tell me just how many are there of me?
Are you even keeping count?
'Cause you lied to me, said that I'm unique
And now you've sold me out
If it's a game and I'm your toy
Let me play rough like the boys
What you made of? Come and find out
When I take all your insides out
Forget plastic and silicone
They're ineffective next to flesh and bone
But when affection's manufactured
The byproduct is bloodthirst
That's just what a sacrifice is
Remember that life is priceless
So pick up the knife, you know what to slice
Now no one has to wonder where did all the love go? Uh oh
I guess I must've lost it
'Cause it can be cutthroat, uh oh
Especially when it's unwanted
Don't you keep this doll all locked up
Playing house just makes me sick
I've been wound up, broken down, but
That was how I found out just what makes me tick
Your touch was once so warm, it's gotten colder
We don't play anymore, is it just because we're older?
You've starved me long enough, I'm hungry for a hug
Can't stop my beating heart, not even if you pull the plug
Where did all the love go? Uh oh
We rolled it up and tossed it
Wasn't worth the trouble, uh oh
Not like I was surviving off it
When you keep this doll all locked up
Playing house just makes us sick
We've been wound up, broken down, but
That was how we found out just what makes us tick
I guess it's been some time
Since I had my last polish
But I've still not lost my shine
We've only got one life to waste
So why not find more time to play?
Where did everyone go? Uh oh
Are they hiding? Should I seek 'em?
Why am I all alone? Oh no
My heart has sprung a leak
It must because it was broke, now I'm sour
But the rain is good for the flowers
