maiden taiwan
You never told me just how to feel
when you were walking away
into a movie you wrote yourself
I was just an extra that day
Now I'm here to tell you that it's for real
and I'm feelin' like I was "made in Taiwan"
like an old toy left by your slide
waitin' for someone to pick him up
out of the rain..

but I have to spell it out
I've got to yell it out for you
do I need to write it out
I'm willing to fight it out
until it's through
one more time

Never saw a reason to leave you there
and I was waving like I was sittin' on float
in the middle of (Manhattan) Times Square.
Never wondered which way to go, I just drove
right into the side of your mountain.
In my mind I can see your face
lookin' at me like I was "made in Taiwan"
like an old toy we used to play with
out by the slide... (you don't remember)

so I need to spell it out
I'm gonna have to yell it out
so you can hear
I need to write out
do you want to fight it out?
let's make it clear.
must we draw it out
what is this all about
to you?
I'm trying to work it out
don't know if I can ride it out into
just one more time

You never told me just what to say
when you are looking at me that way
like you've seen me twice inside your soul
how can I defend?- I'm just "made in Taiwan"
like an old toy praying all the kids will stay
with St. Nicholas coming,
he's coming round this way.

I need to spell it out, I need to yell it out
so I can hear
oh, I need to write it out, do you need me to fight it out
until it's clear?
must we draw it? what is this all about?
is it all about you?
I'm trying to work it out. don't know if I can
ride it out into one more time
said I'm trying to work it out, figure out if I can
keep it from spilling out (no)
so I'm gonna spit out
spell it out
yell it out
but it's all about you

just one more time

knock it down
knock it down to the ground to the sound that's ringing in your mind
knock it down
you don't mind all the time forgot about all that you left behind
knock it down for no good reason
knock it down

one more time
