Tinman Lyrics

There once was an old prophet, a shiny metal man

Who dished out his predictions all across the magic land

This Tinman had a vision, not an ordinary dream

So he called his scribes together with a belly full of steam

Ooh

Ooh

Does love have an expiration date

If I was still yours would it still be fate

I wear my ring for the thought of you

What we had is all I know is true

So say the Tinman

The tiny people gathered to hear the prophet speak

His voice was mighty earthy and would echo for a week

The mini metal prophet spoke of two young lovers mate

To be forever bonded by the rolling gears of fate

Ooh

Ooh

Does love have an expiration date

If I was still yours would it still be fate

I wear my ring for the thought of you

What we had is all I know is true

So say the Tinman

Mmm well I dug up that old Tinman that we buried by the barn

When we were little lovers playing prophet in the yard

He whispered his prediction as I sat alone and wept

For I was not the other lover, I was the Tinman that you left

Ooh

Ooh

Does love have an expiration date

If I was still yours would it still be fate

I wear my ring for the thought of you

What we had is all I know is true

Does love have an expiration date

If I was still yours would it still be fate

I wear my ring for the thought of you

What we had is all I know is true

So say the Tinman
