A Chair Without Legs

Now I'm sitting in a chair without legs Yesterday I threw them under my bed And now I'm sitting in a chair without legs Because I was scared to look where my feet stand This game is not the one I want to play Yet you keep pulling my strings I'm not the doll you wanted to play with Don't they have other dolls Now I'm sitting in a chair without legs Yesterday I threw them under my bed And now I'm sitting in a chair without legs Because I was scared to look where my feet stand Ten feet under and my head is pounding It was an accident, please excuse me The lie you spread all over me While cutting my brain in halves Maybe you didn't give me the time The time to look around Maybe I didn't know how to ask But then you cut my brain in halves Now I'm sitting in a chair without legs Yesterday I threw them under my bed And now I'm sitting in a chair without legs Because I was scared to look where I stand
