A creaky toy theater
Puppets on strings
Popsicle sticks
Princes and kings
A creaky toy theater
Sugarcane smiles
Tophats and bowties
And buttons for eyes
Chorus
When the curtain goes down
Puppets all sleep
Strings on the ground
Their heads on their knees
They don't make a sound
When the curtain goes down
A creaky toy theater
Angels and clowns
Fly through the air
They all tumble down
Pipecleaner gentleman
Handmade cigars
Cowboys and indians
Firefly jars
Chorus
Bridge
Angels of mercy
Endless sad eyes
Stare out at the world
With no place to hide
A creaky toy theater
Glitter and gowns
Waltzes and winder
Spinning around
