Here, my friend, is my heart on a string
With it you may do most anything
Trail me along with my own blood and skin
Or keep me warm and let me in
Here, my boy, are my arms for the taking
Do with them what you will, but the bones are breaking
You may mend them, you may skin them bare
Or hold them in your own so they won’t go nowhere
Here, my dear, is my mind for you to keep
It ain’t much, but it don’t come cheap
For it’s a strong one with walls thick as night
And it’ll surely bite you back if you don’t treat it right
And here, my love, are my eyes, oh, what they’ve seen
With them you can look inside my dreams
and you will see yourself as no one has before
So,Baby, why you stallin’, tell me what for?
