"MUSIC BOX DANCER"

"You walk in the room
And
You're wearing a frown

You reach for the shelf
And
Cradle it down

The

Music Box Dancer

What does it prove

Only that you need to see a statue that moves

A tutu of satin
Bordered with lace

Slender lines
Agile legs

A wonderland face

Her beauty is balanced
An immovable pose

Eternally destined to remain on her toes

Music Box Dancer

She is only a toy

Project upon her
Your dreams of wanting life's joy

She's perched on her stand
And
Never will part

A final gaze upon her

Now
The music will start [***Start Music***]

You wind the doll up
It's nostalgic
Because
You've been here before
So
Give one final pause

To dream of the future
To reflect on the past

Music Box Dancer

Start your whirling at last

The room fills with music
Such a cute song

Watching her go 'round and 'round
She's where she belongs

Bring joy to the watchers
Spreading aglow
Whenever wound up
She'll put on a good show

Music Box Dancer

Do you think or believe
She could step off her box if she wanted to leave?

So easy it is
Twirl around with such grace
Staying in her circle
She remains in one place

Such a brief moment

A small time to spend

The dancing will slow soon

The music will end

In real life we're plastic

Nature's unfair

How can we breathe life

How can we share

The knowledge
and
insights hidden in tombs

We're all

Music Box Dancers

All alone in our rooms

We sit on our shelves
where objects reside

We don't allow the music to get right inside

Music Box Dancer's

Now completely alone

No winder
Or
No listener
Because
Nobody's home

How long before someone will re-wind the spring

The room will now be witness
And
Silence can't sing"
