Coin Operated Boy

Coin-Operated Boy

Album: The Dresden Dolls



Coin operated boy
Sitting on the shelf
He is just a toy
But I turn him on
And he comes to life
Automatic joy
That is why I want
A coin operated boy

Made of plastic and elastic
He is rugged and long-lasting
Who could ever ever ask for more
Love without complications gelore

Many shapes and weights to choose from
I will never leave my bedroom
I will never cry at night again
Rug my arms around him and pretend

Coin operated boy
All the other real
Ones that I destroy
Cannot hold a candle to my new boy
And I'll never let him go
And I'll never be alone
And I'll never let him go
And I'll never be alone, go
And I'll never be alone, go
And I'll never be alone, go
And I'll never be alone, go
And I'll never be alone, go
And I'll never be alone
Not with my coin operated boy

This bridge was written to make you feel smittener
With my sad picture of a girl getting bitterer
Will you extract me from my plastic fantasy
I didn't think so
But I'm still convinceable
Will you persist even after
I bet you a billion dollars
That I'll never love you
And will you persisit even after
I kiss you goodbye for the last time
Will you keep on trying
To prove it, I'm dying
To lose it, I'm losing
My confidence I want a

I want a
I want a
I want a
I want a
I want a
I want a
I want a
I want a
I want a
I want a
I want a

Coin operated boy


And if I had a star to wish on
For my life I can't imagine
Any flesh and blood
Would be his match
I can even take him in the bath

Coin operated boy
He may not be real
Experieced with girls
But I know he feels
Like a boy should feel
This is not the point
That is why I want
A coin operated boy
With a pretty coin operated voice
Saying that he loves me
That he's thinking of me
Straight and to the point
That is why I want
A coin operated boy
