13 Little Dolls Lyrics by Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Wanderlust

2014

[Verse 1]
Darkness ain't a sin, it's the visions in your head
Leave it on the windowsill, it's for them now instead
Do you think they know your heart?
It wouldn't be a big surprise
Because the pendulum will swing whenever night arrives
Thirteen go on wondering from grandma's house to mine
And I'll never be alone, I'm cursed, and I am blessed
It's all, it is less
[Pre-Chorus]
You would not believe the tales they tell
The good, the bad, that hurts like hell
But to those who live the shaded path
They won't betray their wooden mask
[Chorus]
Find them, hide them, keep them safe
Those thirteen little dolls
One for each mood of the day
Those thirteen little dolls
Cross your heart and try to sleep
Leave them out to play
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen little dolls
[Verse 2]
See, I was told a tale of witches in a box
Lift the led and spirits rise, I see them now of course
Now they're here beside the bed, I feel six and twenty eyes
Because for every twist and turn, those dolls will catch the mystery
Tell them every fear I have and let it set me free
It's the black magic, but a friend
We're locked until the bitter end
[Pre-Chorus]
You would not believe the tales they tell
The good, the bad, that hurts like hell
Not apparent to the naked eye
But with the third, it all takes flight
[Chorus]
Find them, hide them, keep them safe
Those thirteen little dolls
One for each mood of the day
Those thirteen little dolls
Cross your heart and try to sleep
Leave them out to play
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen little dolls
[Bridge]
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, thirteen)
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, thirteen)
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, thirteen)
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, thirteen)
[Chorus]
Find them, hide them, keep them safe
Those thirteen little dolls
One for each mood of the day
Those thirteen little dolls
Cross your heart and try to sleep
Leave them out to play
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen little dolls
