Doris Lyrics by Shellac

Uranus

1993

None-too-smart by books
None-too-pretty
Kind of a chore to look at
Doris has had some things go wrong in her little life
And they show on 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' 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 out across the city
Miracles have happened
But I'm in love with the sound
