make you a simple and reticent heart
try on the armor while it falls apart
pick up the pieces and label it art
swimming and drowning and drifting afloat
drop all your baggage and jump in the boat
sail off in search of a new antidote
finally find it the air fills with smoke
turn around crying you gasp and you choke
facing the face of the heart that you broke
wake up one morning a lump in your throat
write down a love song then hate what you wrote
falling apart as you hit every note
decide to shut down your reticent heart
make all the moves to start falling apart
but instead at the last minute choose to restart

it rolls down stairs
alone or in pairs
it makes a clinkity sound
a thing, a thing
a wonderful thing
everyone loves a slinky

slinky, slinky
it's such a wonderful toy
slinky, slinky
it's fun for a girl and a boy
