Shove me up on to the mantelpiece
Sit around and eat your first Chinese
This is the right place at the wrong time
I think the fire is burning underneath
I feel warm
I was born into a factory
Everyone I saw is more like me
Now I stand alone in this old house
Everyone is getting up to go
I feel lovely
Soon, you'll throw me out
Then I will convince myself
I should have stayed around
I belong upon the shelf
Soon you'll throw me out
Then I will convince myself
I should have stayed around
The morning time is back and so are they
Serving up their porridge into bowls
I won't taste the milk from over here
My circumstance is getting weird
I am lonely
I feel a human touch against my spine
They are squeezing me far too tight
Looking after praying at the sky
The savior's soon to be a raffle prize
I'm a freebie
Soon, you'll throw me out
Then I will convince myself
I should have stayed around
I belong upon the shelf
Soon you'll throw me out
Then I will convince myself
I should have stayed around
From time to time, they polish head to toe
The stuff they use just gets up in my nose
I don't believe I need that kind of glow
There must be more to life that I don't know
Someone show me
Won't you show me
