Jonathan Coulton – Creepy Doll Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:2 Minute, 7 Second

In a town in the woods at the top of a hill
Theres a house where no one lives
So you take a big bag of your big city money there and buy it
Then at night when youre all alone
And the house is dark theres a noise upstairs
At the top of the stairs theres a door so you take a deep breath and try it

And the flashlight shines on something moving just inside the door
Theres a tattered dress and a feeling that youve felt somewhere before

And theres the creepy doll
That always follows you
Its got a ruined eye
Thats always open

And theres a creepy doll
That always follows you
Its 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 theres 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 theres a creepy doll

That always follows you
Its got a ruined eye
Thats always open

And theres a creepy doll
That always follows you
Its 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 its late and you head downstairs
Cause you just cant sleep and you make some tea
And the doll disapprovingly asks if you really need that much honey
You decide that youve 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 theres nothing you can do
And far too late you see the one inside the box is you

And theres a creepy doll
That always follows you
Its got a ruined eye
Thats always open

And theres a creepy doll
That always follows you
Its got a pretty mouth
To swallow you whole
