Mannequin Woman Lyrics by Bev Foster

Deeply Loved

2014

Mannequin Woman
[VERSE 1]
Today I met a woman like one I’ve met before
Standing on a platform in the middle of a store
She was perched on green stilettos with a vest and boot cut jeans
She smiled picture perfect, she was impossibly lean
[VERSE 2]
She’d been dressed for the occasion, designed to play a role
Painted, propped up, pasted, covering cracks and well-worn holes
I spoke with her and realized she was following a script
Likе the programmed Chatty Cathy doll I had when I was six
[Chorus]
Mannеquin woman, do you cry real tears?
Mannequin woman, do you ever feel?
Seems you go through motions and want to play the part
Wish you could breathe life again
Wish I could find your heart
[VERSE 3]
I look into her vacant eyes and wonder where she’s gone
Breathes, performs, she does her job like a fine automaton
Seems to be a living death, although her outer shell’s alive
The person that I know and love died somewhere deep inside
[Chorus]
Mannequin woman, do you cry real tears?
Mannequin woman, do you ever feel?
Seems you go through motions and want to play the part
Wish you could breathe life again
Wish I could find your heart
[BRIDGE]
What human fear is strong enough to paralyze the soul?
What kind of love mocks dignity, demands complete control?
[Chorus]
Mannequin woman, do you cry real tears?
Mannequin woman, do you ever feel?
Seems you go through motions and want to play the part
Wish you could breathe life again
Wish I could find your heart
