Paroles de Broken doll

"i was in a car crash" she said
As she sat up in her bed
Her leg in a plaster cast
In a hospital room
Her body bares mute witness
To the underlying sickness
Violent sexual fantasies
She'll be back here again soon
Her arm still in a sling
She keeps on 'falling'
Shinjuku eastside in kabuki-cho
The neon lights will shine
Bright again tonight
More 'fashion' accessories will surely follow

The city is seething
With attention seeking
Pleasure providing
Broken dolls

"i took a fall down some stairs" she said
As she sat up in the same bed
"shinjuku station on the marunouchi line"
"it was clumsy of me but i'm gonna be fine"
Orthopedic collar and a bandaged head
The sling has gone, she's got a splint instead

The city is seething
With attention seeking
Pleasure providing
Broken dolls

Her body's dissolving, conditions fading
She's never smiling, she's always 'falling'
She's barely breathing, who's she deceiving?
Her skin is burning, she can't go on

"i walked into a bus" she said
As she clung on to life on the hospital bed
She said the first thing that came into her head
The first stupid excuse that came into her head
Tonight the neon lights won't be shining bright
Another dark angel's had to cancel her flight

The city is seething
With attention seeking
Pleasure providing
Broken dolls
