Welcome to the Island of Misfit Toys
3am and you're bored again
pick me up, pull my strings
such a lucky puppet, I just, I can't,
I don't know how to say when
I'm just a random option
...just another problem
just another misfit
sitting at the bottom
of your toybox.

there's a doubt in your mind
I can see it twisting in the wind
I'm twisting in the wind
It’s so hard to cave in
sometimes at night
...I know you want to know what it'd be like
to just let go
but you won't
you fall out, fall out
and whisper, whisper
let us both wonder forever
just one insignificant blunder
I'm just a doubt in your mind.


Disclaimer:  I was intoxicated when this reprise was written, thus the obvious suckage.  However, I felt it got a point across, however badly, so I'm letting it stand.

Toybox, Reprise
subtitle: (Welcome to the) Island of Misfit Toys

8AM and I haven't slept again
just a fractured little doll
I just, I can't, I don't know how to turn it off
just a discarded block
a broken jack-in-the-box
just one more abandoned and lost, lonely, unwanted and cracked
puppet at the bottom of your toybox.

clip my wings so I can't leave you
everytime I turn around, you're gone
this is my repayment for ambition to save you
one more lonely, pathetic, lost and neglected
pawn at the bottom of your toybox.
