Dolls

Dolls… they’re everywhere
Living without a care
Dolls… don’t stop and stare
They’ll trap you in their lair
Dolls… I’m still afraid
From a child unto today
And you… you standing there
Listen to what I say…

It’s you they’ll throw away, in search of a brighter day
Forgotten like yesterday, it’s you they’ll throw away
Don’t wanna be thrown away, away…
When the dolls come out to play

Dolls… skin of porcelain
Gets you deep within
Dolls… they’ll reel you in
You won’t know where you’ve been
And dolls… I’m still afraid
From a child unto today
And you… see ‘em standing there
Listen to what I say…

It’s you they’ll throw away, in search of a brighter day
Forgotten like yesterday, it’s you they’ll throw away
Don’t wanna be thrown away, away…
When the dolls come out to play
Don’t wanna be thrown away, away…
When the dolls come out to play

Dolls… I’m running scared
Come catch me if you dare
Dolls… they’ll strip you bare
You haven’t got a prayer
Dolls… I’m so afraid
From a child unto today
And you… you standing there
Listen to what I say…

It’s you they’ll throw away, in search of a brighter day
Forgotten like yesterday, it’s you they’ll throw away…

I’ve lived to tell the tale
Them sexy femme fatales
I’ve lived to tell the tale
Them sexy femme fatales
Don’t wanna be thrown away, away…
When the dolls come out to play
Don’t wanna be thrown away, away…
When the dolls come out to play
When the dolls come out to play
