Mannequin

I remember
When I first met you on a stormy night
I was wearing a long grey coat
Had my hat pulled down on my eyes
I can still see you up on that stage
In that revealing dress
And the mascara running down your face
You looked such a mess

And remember
How we stood for hours under city lights
And the rain and the feelings came pourin' down
And we couldn't hide

Shadows of love and the neon lights
Oh, oh, mannequin
Calls of release from a plastic shell
Oh, oh, mannequin

Now time breaks up into tiny pieces
And the season change
And the latest from Paris looks good on you
Still, I feel the same
But the longing look
That's in your eyes is drawing me here
And the crazy made-up notion
That fantasy could turn reality

I could close my eyes and concentrate
And count to three
And then be diagnosed as another case of insanity

Shadows of love and the neon lights
Oh, oh, mannequin
Calls of release from a plastic shell
Oh, oh, mannequin

Shadows of love and the neon lights
Oh, oh, mannequin
Calls of release from a plastic shell
Oh, oh, mannequin

Shadows of love and the neon lights
Oh, oh, mannequin
Calls of release from a plastic shell
Oh, oh, mannequin

Shadows of love and the neon lights
Oh, oh, mannequin
Oh, oh, my mannequin
