Creepy Doll
Jonathan Coulton
Letra

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 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?



And 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.
