lyrics

Little girl, little girl in your pocket
In the sink, in the sink with the dishes
On the couch, on the couch with conditions
Tie her up with string and sell her with the flowers
If she makes a sound they put her in the cupboard
Where’s the key, lost the key, help her up
If she makes a sound they blame it on the others
Has the key, here’s the key, get her out
Come on now you say its all been done
Passion is your voice and this 'aint up to her
I’ve been planned out like a tapestry
You push the needle and it pierces right through me
Crooked stick, slap the hand full of wishes
Cupid’s wink, draw the arrow, still it misses
Cash is up, broken wings, plucking feathers
People dance in the fire ‘cause it flickers
If she makes a sound they put her in the cupboard
Where’s the key, lost the key, help her up
If she makes a sound they blame it on the others
Has the key, here’s the key, get her out
Cut the cord, cage her in, pictures up
We need our oxygen
Pretty bird, blue and black stolen kisses
We need our oxygen
She’s been planned out like a tapestry
You push the needle and it pierces right through
Cut the cord cage her in pictures up
Pretty bird blue and black stolen kisses
If she makes a sound they put her in the cupboard
Where’s the key, lost the key, help her up
If she makes a sound they blame it on the others
Has the key, here’s the key, get her out
Crooked stick, slap the hand full of wishes
Cupid’s wink draw the arrow still it misses
Cash is up broken wings plucking feathers
People dance in the fire cause it flickers
Come on now you say its all been done
Passion is your voice and this 'aint up to her
I’ve been planned out like a tapestry
You push the needle and it pierces right through me
