Ticking off the days of the calendar
Watching them fall away
In a neat little pile on the kitchen shelf
next to the microwave
you walk in and I look away
hoping to disappear
if I meet yr eyes then it multiplies
til' yr kindness draws me near
skipping ahead in a mystery
to know how the deed was done
I was shocked to see when the killer went free
the detective ate his gun
there was blood on the wall
and a curtain call
as I planned my escape
like a diamond shines in the darkest mine
the spotlight found my face
destroy me
tin toy me
or so they say
one time he
let tiny dreams slip away
ticking off the days of the calendar
watching the numbers fade
and they blow around the room
like a burst balloon still trying to fly away
there's a hole in the sky where you go when you die
I hear good things happen there
we could leave today
but I forgot the way
it was written on the air
destroy me
tin toy me
or so they say
one time he
let tiny dreams slip away
