Why don't you play with the dolls...
The dolls on the wall
I am not the guy i used to be,
Not since he put me away
I left half my brain behind, back in that crazy place
Does that mean...that i am insane
Does that really mean...that i am to blame...no no no
Is it true what they say...little girls don't cry
Is it true what they say...lucy look at me
I am not the guy i used to be,
Not since he put me away
I left half my brain behind, back in that crazy place
Does that mean...that i am insane
Does that really mean...that i am to blame...no no no
Into the night i go, and you can't follow me
Into the night i go, and you can't follow me
I will be your misery, i'm gonna be your hell
I will be your misery, and i wish you well, in hell
I'm digging graves, seven deadly tombs
I'm digging graves, below that crazy moon
I will be your misery, i'm gonna be your hell
I will be your misery, and i wish you well, in hell
Mckenzie, how could you think i'd forget
All graves done...i'm so clever
Seven headstones in all...saying "lucy forever"
I am not the guy i used to be,
Not since he put me away
I left half my brain behind, back in that crazy place
Does that mean...that i am insane
Does that really mean...that i am to blame...no no no
Into the night i go, and you can't follow me
Into the night i go, and you can't follow me
I will be your misery, i'm gonna be your hell
I will be your misery, and i wish you well, in hell
I'm digging graves, seven deadly tombs
I'm digging graves, below that crazy moon
Into the night i go, and you can't follow me...
