Lyrics The Legendary Pink Dots

The Legendary Pink Dots

Dolls' House

The kitchen smells of parafin, the stairways turning black and teddy's

looking tired cause he's lying on his back. Crackling curtains dance in

ribbons, flames are waltzing down the hall - a beetle turns a summersault in

a matchbox by the wall. He's getting restless with his lettuce. Frying

tonight in the Dolls House! Mummy's smiling with a match, blows softly

through the doorway and draws patterns in the ash. Crackle Crackle Flash

Flash!

Golly's leaning out of the window. He gives a little wave and as only gollys

can but he can't come out to play. Sparks creep up his trouser leg but he

doesnt care cause he's busy watching mummy comb her curly hair. Very pretty

on the setee... Playing tonight in the dolls house. Mummys smiling with a

match, blows softly thru the doorway and draws patterns in the ash. Fizzle

Fizzle Zap Zap!

Up on the second floor little Wendy takes a bath; her skin is melting slowly

but she manages to laugh. She knows a dozen words or more; she's always so

polite - pull her string out slowly and she'll sing all thru the night, sing

forever - really clever!

Frying tonight in the dolls house but mommys getting bored; she tore up all

her comics 'cos she's not a kiddie anymore. Nor is Daddy.
