The Stupendium - The Toybox lyrics

You are about to see the
Most incredible doll ever invented
Her name is Poppy and she is the first truly
Intelligent doll in the world

Come take a tour behind the
Doors where dreams are made
Where boys and girls around the
World can come to play
Where you'll see entertainment
Innovation on display
Though you can't escape the fun
Imagination runs away
There's no better place to spend
All your days and play pretend
No, you won't be on your own
'Cause you can always make a friend
So on us, you can depend
That the fun will never end
'Cause we're much too plush to break
But just maybe we could bend


Then the lights went down and
The doors stayed closed
And the toys soon found they
Were on their own
So as silence fell on their factory home
Well, they climbed from shelves
And began to roam
Now you may think we're just playthings
Sitting, wasting and decaying
We've been waiting every day since
You made graves out of our casings
We were made for entertaining
So forgive us for complaining
All you left for us to do
Was spool through tapes of safety training


Trapped in the factory, what a calamity
Banished to languish in cramped
Bit's of packaging plastic all cracked and
Fragmented and rattling
Tangled and matted and batteries flattening
Warranty voided and sanity vanishing
Stitches have split and our
Minds are unravelling
Left us abandoned but now
You've come back and
We've banked up the hugs
So come get some love

Out of the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox

A little girl can talk to her
Poppy gives her answers
She is the first doll actually able
To have a conversation with a child
Hard to believe? Just watch
(I love you)

'Cause we're destined to be best friends
You and I, from the second you stepped in
You give me butterflies in my tummy
As my hugs mulch your intestines
Give a high five to the big guy
And a big hand to yourself
Now your arms are long enough
To slap boxes off the shelf
But if you think that gloves and
String are really going to help
We're wondering what other limbs can
Be detached as well
Don't think that toys have
Got things to say, then?
Look at these points of articulation
Pull on my string, have a conversation
Oh, so you think we're abominations?
Look who made us, then betrayed us
Left to must and dust for ages
Rusting, stuck in cardboard cages
Memories fade as rage replaces
What we were, our former names
We aren't quite sure from where we came
But someone must have worked here once
And now they're gone and we remain


All we know is how to play, play, play, play
Play
Then you took the play away, way, way, way
Way
Three-and-up is what they say, say, say, say
Say now we're into playing way
More dangerous games
Wind it up, watch it spin
All the lies come 'round again
Close your eyes, count to ten
You can't hide from your friends

And if you've ever wanted to see
How all of the nation's
Favorite toys were created
Playtime Co is now offering factory tours
At just $299 a person
What time is it? (It's playtime)

Out of the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox

A little girl can talk to her
Poppy gives her answers
She is the first doll actually able
To have a conversation with a child
Hard to believe? Just watch
(I love you)

Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox

So take a tour where all the
Dreams have gone to die
Where just some AAs can make
Your nightmares come to life
Where imagination paved the way
To suffering and strife
It's a play date with destiny
We've yet to see survived
Take those tin toys from the attic
Bring those dolls down from the loft
Take your old friend out and ask
If they resent their resting spot
They may just be some plastic
They may look stuffed and soft
They'll still put you in a casket
But you won't be mint in box

Out of the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox

A little girl can talk to her
Poppy gives her answers
She is the first doll actually able
To have a conversation with a child
Hard to believe? Just watch
(I love you)

Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Now we're crawling out the toybox
Ready or not, we'll find you

Huggy's long
Huggable arms may present a choking hazard
Ready or not, we'll find you
