Mr Lane, Be careful what you say
Your cellophane skin, can’t keep the pieces in
You count to 10, then count to 10 again…..
Only for the fun
But when he opens wide
You can see the troubled soul inside…….soul inside…..
The things you’ve said, he keeps them in his head
His telescope eyes, can see for miles and miles and miles and miles…..
But in his mind and dreams, his grass is always greener
And he is always clean away……..
When Mr Lane is there, the children stop and stare
With flowers in his hair and bubblegum for his tea
Mr Lane, Don’t let them in your brain
They steal inside, knowing your hands are tied
They’ve taken what they need…….
But when his in is out
You can tell what everything is all …… all about…
Everything is …all …. All about
Mr Lane……Mr Lane……
