What Did I Get For Trusting Him?

I remember those days Those 'merry' days When I was a boy and fell for his lies Once I was younger and ignorant Now I have seen the light What did I get for trusting him? Look at my face, this outlandish paint Check out my hat and hideous clothes Am I a clown or a joke? Now I am stuck in this puny box All I can do is wait and hide Turn the crank up and I'll spring a surprise I'm laughing but I'm seething inside Once I was bitten, now I'm twice as shy Away from his fond illusions Cos I have grand dreams To be someone else This silly entertaining is just an insult If I had a choice, I'd be a star Dressed up to the nines The spotlight is mine Dancing and singing the night away The lights applause They're all for me So Thomas young man Don't be naive The Toymaker doesn't have plans for you Don't say I didn't warn you about this man You're in for a huge surprise!
