The Ventriloquist

We caught each other by the body

And fell in a heap

Your doll in the dark bedroom woke

With her scream a whip

With her scream a whip

With your arms around my neck

We ran through the thorny wood

The doll screamed after us to the world

Daddy was no good

Daddy was no good

You sobbed against my chest

I waded the river's freeze

The doll had put your mummy on show

The Kraken of the seas

As you lay on the bed

I lean to the locked door

The doll sat on the roof and screamed

I was with a whore

I was with a whore

The doll broke in that night

Killed you and was gone

Screaming at the stars to look

And see justice done

And see justice done

And see justice done
