The Dresden Dolls - Slide lyrics

[The Dresden Dolls - Slide lyrics]

A late April day and it's sunny outside
And a red little girl's at the top of a slide
And an orange old man at the bottom
Wants to take her for a ride
As she slips and she tumbles
The orange man mumbles
Pennies crash down from the sky
And he tells her he'll take
Her away where it's safe
And of course it is a lie
She's a third the down and
Her skirts are yanked up
And her little girl cheeks start to wrinkle
But her smile is wide and
Her legs are spread wider
Her hair growing long and
Her hips getting larger
Past getting brighter light growing weaker
She is halfway down now but
The man is impatient
Shakes change in his pocket he might


Have to wait but she's coming she's coming
Who are you blaming? They're just playing!
That's a good one who left the playground
A good decade before the bell rang?

As she starts to draw nearer
The view becomes clearer
The splinters are painful but
She doesn't feel it
The pennies were loaded and as they exploded
She starts to spin out of control
Her eyes are now closing
Her sleeves are unrolling
Up past her head and her
Veins are all showing
Not that she noticed she's
Thoroughly focused on
One old man who's laughing who's laughing
Don't worry i've got you
Don't worry i've got you

The orange man's got you

A late April day and it's sunny outside
And a red little girl's at the top of a slide
And an an orange old man at the bottom
Wants to take her for a ride
