from Poseurs, released April 2, 2013
Please don’t touch, can’t you read?
I’m a China Doll
Look don’t touch, can’t you see?
I’m a China Doll

See my painted surface
Admire my design
See me my in my cabinet
Hardened varnish shine
Girls under glass
Look on the world with blank stare
As cold as the draught in the living room

Please don’t touch, can’t you read?
I’m a China Doll
Look don’t touch, can’t you see?
I’m a China Doll

Pretty as a picture
No finger prints to mark my perfect skin
Though you wonder if feeling lies within
Still under glass
So self-contained
As cold and as hard as the ice on the garden

Please don’t touch, can’t you read?
I’m a China Doll
Look don’t touch, can’t you see?
I’m a China Doll

No words to write, no books to read
No love inside, just vacant eyes
Cos I’m a Chine Doll
Nice to look at nice to hold
If you break it, consider it sold
