I’ll paint myself as stationary / Glue on wings like I’m a fairy
You can see my cold bones / Clean off my face with acetone
Life flies by me and my blank eyes / At all times they’re open wide
You think blue might suit me better / Draw on me your signature
Dollface I’m your / Dollface, my skin will / Freeze your hands are my fate
Don’t over decorate my / Dollface
Tattoos put on with fine tip marker / The same one used for my eyeliner
Stain my hair mousy brown / Red lipstick over my frown
Cover up the lines where joints meet bone / Clean off my face with acetone
You think blue might suit me better / Sign me off with a quill feather
Dollface I’m your / Dollface, my skin will / Freeze your hands are my fate
Don’t over decorate my / Dollface
Dollface, I’m your / Dollface
I’m your / Doll
Dollface I’m your / Dollface
I’m yours

I think there’s a ghost / In me
Don’t get too close / To me
I wouldn’t stand there
Something is control / -ing me
On marion- / -ette strings
I’m sorry if I hurt you, it’s not in my hands
I might as well start breaking windows
Make marble busts move on their own
Record myself howling into a video cassette
Cryptid, mystic, luring unsuspecting kids
Into a personalised hell
I might as well
Mmm… do-do-do
I think there’s a ghost / In me
Don’t get too close / To me
I’m perfectly capable of isolating myself
I think there’s a ghost / in me
Are you the one I’m / haunting
Let me slam a door and see if you scream
I might as well start breaking windows
Make marble busts move on their own
Record myself howling into a video cassette
Cryptid, mystic, luring unsuspecting kids
Into a personalised hell
I might as well
Mmm… do-do-do (x4)
(over the top of that) Hoo - improvisation
I might as well start breaking windows
Make marble busts move on their own
