I'm so afraid of mistakes that I've made Shaking every time that I awake I feel like a cardboard cut-out man So build me a time when the characters rhyme and the storyline is kind
I've aged and aged since the first page I've lived every line that you wrote Take me down, take me down, from the shelf above your head And build me a time when the characters rhyme and the storyline is kind
I live where I'm left on the shelf like the rest And the epilogue reads like a sad song Please pick up your camera and use me again And build me a time when the characters rhyme and the storyline is kind Yeah!
