BUTTON EYES

Step into my little world [hee-hee]

Where ribbons twist and shadows twirl [oh-oh]

Candy doors hide tiny lies

Keep your hands, don’t touch my eyes [ha-ah] [FX: subtle bell]

Button eyes that stare too long

Silent whispers hum a song

Paper dolls and broken strings

Everyone here has hidden wings [ad-lib: yeah-yeah]

Twist the latch, the walls will move [ooh]

Ticking clocks will test your groove [FX: soft doll squeak]

Step too close, you might just freeze

Better run, don’t meet my eyes [ahh]

Button eyes, staring wide [hah]

In my world, there’s nowhere to hide [hee-hee]

Step back, step back, or you’ll be mine

Better move, better move, don’t meet my eyes [yeah-yeah]

Threads of silk and candy dust

Twist your mind or bite my trust

Eyes like buttons, black as night

I’ll pull the strings, you’ll lose the fight [ad-lib: ha]

Step careful, don’t cross the line

Or you’ll regret if you meet my eyes [FX: faint doll laugh]

Twist the latch, the walls will move [ooh]

Ticking clocks will test your groove

Step too close, you might just freeze

Better run, don’t meet my eyes [hee-hee]

Button eyes, staring wide [hah]

In my world, there’s nowhere to hide

Step back, step back, or you’ll be mine

Better move, better move, don’t meet my eyes [hee-hee]

Peek-a-boo, I see you there [hmm, sweet]

Little hands, you better beware [hee-hee, sarcastic]

You can try, but you’ll never be me [oh-oh]

Step aside, or… oops! [ahh, sweet & sinister]

Clack!! The doll’s head fell off, Mommy! Hahaha… [hahhaha, doll head drop FX]

Flicker lights, the shadows creep [uh-oh]

Little dolls never sleep

Twist and spin, you can’t disguise

Step aside, don’t meet my eyes [FX: music box + bell]

Button eyes, staring wide [hah] [FX: music box crescendo]

In my world, there’s nowhere to hide

Step back, step back, or you’ll be mine

Better move, better move, don’t meet my eyes [hee-hee]

Tick-tock… don’t meet my eyes… [shh] [FX: distant music box fading]
