Dresden Dolls

Dresden dolls take one
This is for all you guys who work on industrial estates
Dresden dolls are back in style
with a clockwork walk and a backward smile
Dresden dolls don't hear a sound
They're programmed to jump up and down
Up and down
Round and round
Tapping feet to formless sound
Dresden dolls and Nazi boys
Dance arm in arm to formless noise
Up and down
Round and round
Tapping feet to formless sound
On plastic bars they sit and pose
Count their fingers with their toes
They sit and smile and drink and grin
Then they all get up again
Up and down
Round round
Tapping feet to noiseless sound
Dresden dolls are back in style
With a clockwork walk and a backward smile
Up and down
Pound and round
Tapping feet to formless sound
