• she was standing outside the Art museum
    a peace sign hanging down her collar
    deciding whether to keep on dreaming
    about the people or go in to see them
    She was tired of flesh and blood sculptures
    and wanted to roam around those of marble
    Shed fallen in love with their honest coldness
    having had enough of lying warmth

    one day my heart will turn to cold marble stone
    and my eyes will grow blank and no longer be my own

    She climbed up the stairs and slowly started to tread
    into the footsteps of the ancients
    The pale people she was visiting seemed to whisper hello
    most were silent but some would bellow
    just as she was used to
    She told them stories and they told her their tales
    and some of them spoke in riddles
    And when the ticking clock yelled out its time
    She knew it was time to leave now,
    but shed be back in a while

    one day my heart will turn to cold marble stone
    and my eyes will grow blank and no longer be my own
    My skin will lose its meaning and feeling
    and my life will lose its feeling and meaning

    One day...
    One day...
    One day...
    Ill truly be
    Ill truly be happy

    Back at school she wandered the hallways
    with no one to tell secrets to
    And though most of them told her their say
    None of these statues tales were ever new
    she saved a small ration of smiles by her bed
    which she broke out on days like these
    She longed to be back among her friends
    and walk once more with the ancients

    One day
    the hands that hold me will care
    One day
    my smile will actually be there
    one day
    Ill truly be happy
    Ill truly be happy
    One day
    my head will fall off
    one day
    my arms will flee me
    one day
    Ill truly be happy
    Ill truly be happy
    One day

    one day my heart will turn to cold marble stone
    and my eyes will grow blank and no longer be my own
    My skin will lose its meaning and feeling
    and my life will lose its feeling and meaning
    It will be no different than now to see me
    except admission will no longer be free
