lyrics

LITTLE PLASTIC FIGURE

all my hope is bundled
in a little plastic figure
standing on my radiator

I look to her in the middle of the night
I usually don't sleep well
I listen to steps in the stairwell

sometimes I think someone is in my room
I'm sure I can hear someone's breath
or clearly someone's footsteps

and I think all my hope is bundled
in a little plastic figure
standing on my radiator

she's a woman with a purpose
she's a woman with a sword
she knows why she's here
who she's here to fight
she's never been afraid
not of fire and not of pain
and she's never looked back

all my hope is bundled
in a little plastic figure
standing on my radiator

I know she has special powers
just because she's plastic
doesn't mean she's not fantastic

she came inside of a chocolate egg
it was a present from my brother
he always wants to smother me

perhaps he knew I needed someone for the night
someone who would just stand there
with a sword ready to fight

she's a woman with a purpose
she's a woman with a sword
she knows why she's here
who she's here to fight
she's never been afraid
not of fire and not of pain
and she's never looked back

well I think she's divine
and she's beautiful
I know she's very small
but in real life
well she's probably very tall

she's a woman with a purpose
she's a woman with a sword
she knows why she's here
who she's here to fight
she's never been afraid
not of fire and not of pain
and she's never looked back
not even just to check

She takes this very seriously, as she takes the band very seriously and of course the poem, that is Gertrude Stein very seriously. ... more
