Baby Doll

Baby doll, do you wanna live

In a long lost meadow far away

With willow trees that weep all around

The tall grass in which you lay

Do you want to be golden, seeing flowers

With long green tails holding crowns

And smell them, sleeping while your legs melt

Softly like the sun swells out

Stomp out fires that lash you huddle

Sleeping on stilts that lean like a bottle

And your house is crooked and withering painfully

Creaking its beams while the wind whistles through them

And your time is passing so fast and yet slowly

You get what you want in your lonely holding

And then it is raining, 'cause Halloween is coming

So close you can smell it right against your face

And you're walking quickly through the wet stone city

So loud all around you because you are late

And there's no disguise that it's quite fitting for you

Except in the eyes of the people you walk by

And there's no disguise that's so often worn by you

As the one in the eyes of the people who know you
