When you happened by my open eyes could see,

My sleeping hands awoke and almost reached,

I was full of life till you walked on by

Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely

And only alive.



For a moment my heart began to beat,

My puppet legs responded to your strings,

And my shuffling feet started stepping high

Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely

And only alive.



For all the things worth living for

Left me for someone new

And all of those things I lost

I was left condemned to a lonely life

Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely

And only alive.
