I'm caught waiting
Standing on artificial limbs
Foam head and synthetic skin
Now I'm hating while they're debating
Because they waited oh so long
I might cry, I might cry, then I'll rust

See the way it broke me and the way it messed me up
See all their excuses just add up
Now I'm running out of clever things to say

The moth is low enough for the cat now
She is coming up the garden path now
Around the verandah and uh . . . Amanda
A penny saved is a penny
Let's take some time to keep in mind
I'm severing myself from lies that bind
And I will be here not feeling a thing
I will be waiting patiently

See the way it broke me and the way it messed me up
See all their excuses just add up
See all of my wires just tangle up
I used to be hateful she says
Then why has she come to take a look at me now
Oh how I've changed
Now I'm loathesome

See the way it broke me the way it messed me up
See all their excuses just pile up
All of a sudden being young's no longer fun
