Mannequin lyrics

I remember 

When I first met you on a stormy night

I was wearing a long grey coat

Had my hat pulled down on my eyes

I can still see you up on that stage 

In that revealing dress

And the mascara running down your face

You looked such a mess

And remember 

How we stood for hours under city lights

And the rain and the feelings came pourin' down 

And we couldn't hide

Shadows of love and the neon lights

Oh, oh, mannequin

Calls of release from a plastic shell

Oh, oh, mannequin

Now time breaks up into tiny pieces 

And the season change

And the latest from Paris looks good on you

Still, I feel the same

But the longing look 

That's in your eyes is drawing me here

And the crazy made-up notion 

That fantasy could turn reality

I could close my eyes and concentrate 

And count to three

And then be diagnosed as another case of insanity

Shadows of love and the neon lights

Oh, oh, mannequin

Calls of release from a plastic shell

Oh, oh, mannequin

Shadows of love and the neon lights

Oh, oh, mannequin

Calls of release from a plastic shell

Oh, oh, mannequin

Shadows of love and the neon lights

Oh, oh, mannequin

Calls of release from a plastic shell

Oh, oh, mannequin

Shadows of love and the neon lights

Oh, oh, mannequin

Oh, oh, my mannequin
