Toy Soldiers - Markita

Step by step
Heart to heart
Left right left
We all fall down like toy soldiers

It wasn't my intention to mislead you
It never should have been this way
What can I say
It's true I did extend the invitation
I never knew how long you'd stay
When you hear temptation call
It's your heart that takes, takes a fall

Won't you come out and play with me

CHORUS:
Step by step
Heart to heart
Left right left
We all fall down like toy soldiers
Bit by bitTorn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on for toy soldiers

It's getting hard to wake up in the morning
My head is spinning constantly
How can it be
How could I be so blind to this addiction
If I don't stop the next one's gonna be me
Only emptiness remains
It replaces all, all the pain

Won't you come out and play with me

CHORUS

(eminem used the chorus in his song 'like toy soldiers'. there is a lot to be said about its haunting pseudo-innocence. like hell if i heard 'won't you come out and play with me' in the dead of the night, i would very probably freak out and screech. know how the scariest ghosts are kids because all they want is to be friends with you, and they just don't get that they aren't wanted, so you just can't shake them off? of course, the malicious ghosts are eviler, but that doesn't mean the innocent 'i just want to be friends' ghost isn't creepy. uh incidentally toy soldiers is apparently about drug addiction. yes. double whammy. like how nursery rhymes have sinister undertones. no wonder kids can't wait to grow up.)
