lyrics

Tin Man

Go find your heart, little tin man.
She can't give you hers; it'll die in your hands.
Though you'll try to be gentle, the cold cruel metal.
Is no place for me, no place for she.

Shrouded in doubt, you're trying to shout. Only to hear your own voice over the drone.
Slow it down, don't break your trust. Hide from rain, or you will rust.
You can hide her and try to change her. But you cannot claim her.

Little tin man, won't you cry?
Show me there are tears in your cold eyes.
Little tin man, won't you laugh?
Let me hear your happy little gasps. Happy little gasps.
Little tin man, won't you stay? Won't you let her skip away?
You're breaking her wings, let her love, let her fly!

Oh, Tin Man, take a rest.
You do your best.
But you can't deny. There's nothing in your chest.
You turned away from the sunshine and now you've turned green.
Green with envy, green with greed.

Little Tin Man, try be patient, try and wait.
The holder of your heart is on their way. They want to play.
Little Tin Man, this isn't a game.
This isn't fate.
Kisses turned into handshakes.

Turning to the clock can't and won't be ammunition.
There's surely not a spell out here to turn her to submission.
Take your oiling can and take your bow and fiddle.
Your joints aren't half as stiff. Try and tell me, what's this riddle?

Little tin man, don't you know? There are better things, so smile.
Show me life in your cold metal eyes.
Little tin man, don't you see?
Show her your heart and then so will she.
