[The Magnetic Fields - When She Plays the Toy Piano lyrics]

When she plays the toy piano
Woodland animals come round
Little birds sit on her shoulder
Wondering how she makes that sound

When she plays the toy piano
With her arabesques and trills
She’s a wonder, we all love her
But it doesn’t pay the bills

She should sell that toy piano
Move to town, and get a job
Buy a studio apartment
Settle down and marry Bob

When one plays the toy piano
It drowns out the slithering time
But it’s oozing up the stairs now
And she hasn’t got a dime

When she plays the toy piano

She is ransoming her youth
Like a ketamine addict in an isolation booth

When she plays the toy piano
When she makes her so-called art
She defiles her papa’s tombstone
She is breaking mama’s heart

She is breaking, breaking
Breaking mama’s heart
She is breaking, breaking
Breaking mama’s heart
She is breaking, breaking
Breaking mama’s heart
She is breaking, breaking
Breaking mama’s heart
