Creepy Doll

Lyrics

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 the creepy doll (and there's the creepy doll)
 That always follows you (that always follows you)
 It's got a ruined eye (it's got a ruined eye)
 That's always open
 And there's a creepy doll (and there's a creepy doll)
 That always follows you (that always follows you)
 It's got a pretty mouth (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 (and there's a creepy doll)
 That always follows you (that always follows you)
 It's got a ruined eye (it's got a ruined eye)
 That's always open
 And there's a creepy doll (and there's a creepy doll)
 That always follows you (that always follows you)
 It's got a pretty mouth (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
 As the smoke fills up your tiny room there's nothing you can do
 And far too late you see the one inside the box is you
 And there's a creepy doll (and there's a creepy doll)
 That always follows you (that always follows you)
 It's got a ruined eye (it's got a ruined eye)
 That's always open
 And there's a creepy doll (and there's a creepy doll)
 That always follows you (that always follows you)
 It's got a pretty mouth (it's got a pretty mouth)
 To swallow you whole
