Broken Doll - Global Citizen

«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
