Munchausen by Proxy

You blow my mind away, every day
I am the uncanny valley boy
Nimble and perplexing
No liver, no lungs
I’m lurking in the garret
The stairway, the hall
I think you’ve heard this story before
I’m coming home, always coming back
To the disco that they call Munchausen by Proxy
They made me like this
A company of strangers
A surrogate kiss for something that you cannot obtain
Here I am going up around the bend
Tick tock
In the pit, the pendulum is running my heart and my naked limbs
Chop chop
It’s the birth of Manikin
By the Pavlovian hounds of love I kissed a castrated suffragette
I can’t believe it would come to this my love
Oh God, I’m a mated marionette
So here I am going up around the bend
I can hear the pendulum
It’s running my heart and my naked limbs
It’s the way the rhythm runs the world
One of us, one of us, one of a kind
Baby, can you hear me?
Are you really one of us, one of us, one of a kind?
Baby, can you hear me?
