Figurine Lyrics

Figurine lyrics

By Warren Zevon

c. 1996 (?) Zevon Music/BMI



Well the wrong kind of people don't want you to change 

They just want you to stay the same 

They want to keep you in between 

So hold that pose like a figurine 

Figurine 

Don't it make you want to scream? 

Don't you get it, yet? 

They think of you as a statuette



And the wrong kind of people don't want you to change 

They just want you to stay the same 

They're gonna ask you 'Where you been? 

' Make you wait, like a mannequin 

They want to keep you high and dry 

To furnish them with an alibi 

They want to keep you in between 

So hold that pose like a figurine

Figurine 

Don't it make you want to scream? 

Don't you get it, yet? 

They think of you as a statuette



Well the wrong kind of people don't want you to change 

They want you to stay the same 

They don't want you to be free 

They want you to watch TV
