[Lyrics for Dresden Dolls – Coin,,Operated Boy]
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 galore
Many shapes and weights to choose from
I will never leave my bedroom
I will never cry at night again
Wrap 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
[x2]
Not with my coin operated boy……
With my sad picture of girl getting bitterer
Can you extract me from my plastic fantasy
I didn’t think so but I’m still convincible
Will you persist even after I bet you
A billion dollars that I’ll never love you
Will you persist 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 it
I want you
I want a coin operated boy.
And if I had a star to wish on
For my life I cant imagine
Any flesh and blood could be his match
I can even take him in the bath
Coin operated boy
He may not be real experienced with girls
But I know he feels like a boy should feel
Isn’t that the point that is why I want a
Coin operated boy
With his pretty coin operated voice
Saying that he loves me that hes thinking of me
Straight and to the point
That is why I want
A coin operated boy.
