shellac - doris (live in tokyo) lyrics
none-too-smart to buy books
none-too-pretty
it’s kind of a ch-r- to look at
doris’s hands when things go wrong in her little life
and they show her her face
there are things she doesn’t talk about
there are things she only tells her mom
there are things she never tells anyone
there are things in doris’s life
but then there are in everyone’s…
then she opens her little mouth
she sings her little song and like a flag
it folds out across the city
and it goes:
“the fat man becomes an ice-skater…
maniac becomes a stepfather…
i watch a policeman’s mouth –
out comes an honest word.”
miracles happen when doris sings
couples in love stop dead in their tracks
dishes clatter to the ground (unbroken)
politicians die
she watches as her son becomes an imbecile
watches as her son becomes a vegetable
watches as her son becomes a senator
watches as her only son becomes an imbecile
(and it makes her cry)
she waves her little song like a flag
it goes across the city
miracles can happen
but i’m in love with her, so…
