Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Always talking around this,
He wants me,
I get things, everything I wanted,
My own way, your time, goldmines,
Loose guys, on my backless, dresses, exes.
I cannot help myself, I'm just doing what I do,
Got my heart set, do anything that I want so thank you,
I like it and I do what I like,
And if you do what I like, then you'll like it,
If you wanna just
Scream,
Scream your lungs out,
If you wanna just
Cry,
Cry your eyes out,
I'm not doing that
That's what I'm about.
You can cry your eyes out of your head,
Baby, baby,
I don't care, I don't care,
I don't care, I don't care,
You can cry-cry-cry again-gain-gain,
My face like a mannequin,
(Scream)
Mannequin, yea I did,
It again and again,
You can cry-cry-cry again-gain-gain,
My face like a mannequin.
You told me more than he did,
And then you were frozen, imposin',
There's no way you want me,
Watch me, trust me,
Can't impress me,
I'm not changing, I'm just
I cannot help myself, I'm just doing what I do,
Got my heart set, do anything that I want so thank you,
I like it and I do what I like,
And if you do what I like, then you'll like it,
If you wanna just
Scream,
Scream your lungs out,
If you wanna just
Cry,
Cry your eyes out,
I'm not doing that
That's what I'm about.
You can cry your eyes out of your head,
Baby, baby,
I don't care, I don't care,
I don't care, I don't care,
You can cry-cry-cry again-gain-gain,
My face like a mannequin,
(Scream)
Mannequin, yea I did,
It again and again,
You can cry-cry-cry again-gain-gain,
My face like a mannequin.
My face like a mannequin.
My face like a mannequin.
My face like a mannequin.
My face like a mannequin.
Watch me,
(Watch me, watch me, watch me,
Watch me, watch me, watch me,

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I Hear "Love is Like a Mannequin" Too.
Maybe Parts Are Love isn't of "Face"
