Creepy Doll

In a town in the woods at the top of a hill

There's a house where no one lives

So you take a big bag of your big city money there and buy it

But at night when the house is dark

And you're all alone, there's a noise upstairs

At the top of the stairs there's a door and you take a deep breath and try it

And the flashlight shows you something moving just inside the door

There's a tattered dress and a feeling you have felt somewhere before

And there's a creepy doll

That always follows you

It's got a ruined eye

That's always open

And there's a creepy doll

That always follows you

It's got a pretty mouth

To swallow you whole

So you scream and you close the door

And you tell yourself it was just a dream

In the morning you head into town cause you want to go antiquing

In the store there's a strange old man

With a wandering eye and a withered hand

When he hands you the old wooden box you can hear his old bones creaking

And you know what you will find inside the moment that you see

That someone's carved your name into the tarnished silver key

And there's a creepy doll

That always follows you

It's got a ruined eye

That's always open

And there's a creepy doll

That always follows you

It's got a pretty mouth

To swallow you whole

When you come home late the doll is waiting up for you

And when you fix a snack the doll says it would like one too

The doll is in your house and in your room and in your bed

The doll is in your eyes and in your arms and in your head and you are crazy

Now it's late and you head downstairs

Cause you just can't sleep so you make some tea

And the doll disapprovingly asks if you really need that much honey

You decide that you've had enough

And you lock the doll in the wooden box

You put the box in the fireplace next to your bag of big city money

As the smoke fills up your tiny room there's nothing you can do

Far too late you see the one inside the box is you

And there's a creepy doll

That always follows you

It's got a ruined eye

That's always open

And there's a creepy doll

That always follows you

It's got a pretty mouth

To swallow you whole
