Lonely World

Porcelain faced baby doll
Smile with ruby red lips
Artificial eyes blinking with life
A frozen face can’t uplift
And plastic arms can’t hug

Are you lonely little girl?
Are you spinning like a lonely world?
Can I be your satellite tonight?
Can I make anything alright?

Caged bird can you fly?
Hop behind bars and sing
Stare with lonely intensity
A trapped animal can’t be
The inspiration I need

I am lonely tonight, girl.
I’m spinning like a lonely world.
Can you be my satellite tonight?
Can you make anything alright?

A caged bird can lift you up
If your porcelain face can smile
When my song reaches beyond these bars
Will your plastic limbs soften in an embrace?
I can be the satellite for a lonely world
If that world will be a satellite for me
