Lyrics Mr. Gingerbread - Tiger Darrow

Mister gingerbread, you were raised in the heat of things
In the middle of the war between molecules
Your civilization came to be in a cookie tray
And like the rest of us, you were cut out and couldn't help the shape
You seem so content while everyone else struggles
With looks and prosperity, love and popularity
Mister gingerbread, please tell me, what's your secret
Mister gingerbread, please...
How do you do it in a world like this
You keep a smile on your face when everything is amiss
You stay so sweet when everyone else is so bitter
And you don't seem alarmed when people are eating your arms
Mister gingerbread, your birth was an unnatural one
No mother or father just scientific fun
You made friends with Lady because you wanted fingers like hers
You and she had dates over tea with the other hors d'oeuvres
But then came the day your love was taken away
But your smile never faltered though your life was so altered
How do you do it in a world like this
You keep a smile on your face when everything is amiss
You stay so sweet when everyone else is so bitter
And you don't seem alarmed when people are eating your arms
Just like the rest of us you never know which day will be your last
Unlike the rest of us, your life will seem to go so fast
You never seem to care, it's hidden in the smile you wear
Please tell me- how do you do it,
How...
How do you do it in a world like this
You keep a smile on your face when everything is amiss
You stay so sweet when everyone else is so bitter
And you don't seem alarmed when people are eating your arms
Mister gingerbread, I'm sorry that you had to go
Mister gingerbread, I think you have the right to know
That you had such a sweet demeanor
My plate could not have been cleaner...
