Peter Lyrics by Daughter

Tales From Shop Session

2010

[Verse 1]
Peter, can I go back home?
I flew here under false pretense
I thought it'd be fun
But the lost boys have all moved away
And one of them is locked up
I know you think you're still a child
But I couldn't give a fuck; you're twenty-one

[Verse 2]
Oh Peter
I can dream no more
I have been chasing all of yours
I've forgotten what it was that I wanted
That I want

[Chorus]
Oh I won't be your doll
So please don't you ask me to
You see I don't look so good in yellow
Like other dolls they do

[Verse 4]
Oh Peter
I am not naive
I see the way you look at her
You don't do that for me
Oh it must be love
And we both know it's not with us

[Chorus]
Oh I won't be your doll
So please don't you ask me to
You see I don't look so good in yellow
Like other dolls they do

[Verse 5]
Oh Peter
He walks beside the lake
While I lay beside an empty space
Waiting for the sirens
Just waiting for the sirens

[Chorus]
Oh I won't be your doll
So please don't you ask me to
I won't shut my little painted face
Like all your other dolls they do
Like all the other dolls they do
