Lyrics

I’ve been living like a two-bit mannequin
A motionless puppet with a plastic smile
Watching all the people that I want go past
Looking at love
Walking on by

Have you ever felt like a threadbare carpet
Walked all over by the ones you love
You worship at their feet but they only wear you down
Looking at love
Walking on by

Oh after they’re gone
Oh after they’re gone
You find yourself a pair of shoes so you can do some walking too

Looks like an evening for a surrogate lover
So I'm headed for the house of resuscitation
To lose my eyes on the spikes of wisdom
Walking on love
Looking on by

Oh after I'm gone
Oh after I'm gone
You find yourself a pair of shoes so you can do some walking too
