Act 1 S4 Annabel Has A Doll

And so around 3 AM

A recently deceased man

Found himself wound in the land of living again

Bound in a body

Of gears and wheels but oddly

He has no voice and his steel joints barely can bend

The one sound he makes in fact

He streams radio broadcasts

He plays a country station if you give him a pat

Our dearest Annabel is

Quite thrilled and ecstatic

She has a friend who just was dead and yet she brought back

What may please does not content

All resolves but never ends

All that comforts is not true

All you love does not love you

I have a dolly and we like to go on walks

We like to stroll around the park all while he listens to me talk

About the people and the places that I never got to see

‘Cause I wouldn't leave my house, but that's before he was with me

We share a world, which is wonderful to see it's like a dream

Where no one calls me failure if I don't succeed

I have a dolly it's like flowers in the spring

And but no matter how I talk to him he never says a thing

What may please does not content

All resolves but never ends

All that comforts is not true

All you love does not love you

I have a dolly and he goes with me outside

Which used to be a problem for me oh but now I never mind

Ice cream and carriages I always thought were nice

But never had someone to share them with because the lab's my life

Annabelle no friends you must be brilliant and the best

You must be better and industrious, or you are worthless

But now I have dolly a dear friend with whom I go

Out for walk and talks but he's mute and just plays the radio

Elysium

The place the when your sorrows end

Why’d you bring me here again

I have a dolly who can keep me company

We go to shows, parades and cabarets though people stare at me

But I've shown that I am brilliant and I've conquered life and death

The only thing my father said is that one must be a success

And now I've got a friend, a silent clockwork double

Who can be there for me to lean on when I feel sad and troubled

I have a dolly, and he's very stabling if not a little just too distant

Cause he never says a thing

What you hold may wish to go

What you believe may not be so

All that brings you piece of mind

May not stay for a long time

What may please does not content

All resolves but never ends

All that comforts is not true

And all you love does not love you

Can’t you speak to me?

Won’t you speak to me?

All the things we could share and conceive

If you’d just speak to me

Elysium

The place the when your sorrows end

Why’d you bring me here

Oh why'd you bring me here

Why'd you bring me here again?
