The old world is changing, so we must re-invent
I’ve painted your eyes on porcelain
A warm orange glow from show windows;
Expensive clothes on mannequins
Fabric is left to waste
A marionette
Could never choose to live
Like you would have done as a girl
She pirouettes
Then I see you instead
She will have your name
The scripture is vague but he must find it profane
To remake your body from wood
You bel esprit, you prodigy;
You masterpiece to be made–
Your strings are ladders to Heaven
And the blackbird did sing
“climb up to me- all that I dream you became”
While my dreams have faded back to gray
A marionette will never move her limbs
Her movements projected by the hand
So she pirouettes
Then I see you instead
She will have your face
