Doll Face
From The Excitement Plan

i come from not far from here
a long time ago
spent years on that mountain
before they even built this town below
had a place on the ridge
with a view for miles around
until the day those men came up
and dragged me into town

A shame what they did to me
It's a crying shame
It was a shame the way they treated me

back in town they beat me down so bad
that i passed into something else
and when i woke i looked
I couldnt even recognize myself
i was a completely covered in useless information
anyone looking could see
in the back of a truck with a rubber band
stuck around what was left of me

the next thing i know im thrown in a yard
where i wait a while and then
this old man walks out in a bathrobe
picks me up and walks me back in
and he freed me from that rubber band alright
but in what seemed like a flash
he glanced me once and then
he threw me into the trash

thats how i ended up
on this land fill here lying around
waiting for this big old pile of garbage were on
to work its way back under ground
where i hope to grow up tall again
maybe right here on this very spot
might seem like a pipe dream to you
but doll face its all I got

you see man seems to think the world was made for him
and that might be true
but there's is a crack in every side walk
where the grass breaks through
you know what i'm saying baby
stick with me
someday you may have it made in the shade of a tree
someday you may have it made in the shade of a tree
