Hush now! I'm thinking
You're my ball, I'm a chain
Am I pretending?
What does my brain cell signify?
Give me input. Don't put me out in the rain
Am I just merely
The feathered tail of a weathervane
Here I'm standing
You think I'm better than you
Empty handed
I scream and shout
Empty handed
A shot cries out
Empty handed
With my fake nose
Is this just a memory
Of what I see before me
Does it bore me?
His name i couldn't recall.
What's my input?
Don't put me out in the rain
Is it just really...
Well don't forget to patronise
Here I'm standing
You think I'm better than you
Empty handed
I scream and shout
Empty handed
A shot cries out
Empty handed
With my fake nose
