Dresses That Fit Mannequins in Funland (or The Mannequin's Casket)
It is 8:30
My life will soon end
Oh, it has been a pleasure
To watch it all end
I sit here hiding
Watching it unfold
Lies, Secrets & Mysteries
Have all been told
Never wrong the wrongdoers
Because they are never right
Sitting in the closet
Clutching my pen
This diary page is so utterly thin
Having all the mannequins off the bed
Standing by the door, hand in hand
My red dress soaked in bleach
And my church dress soaked in blood
The mannequins are staring through the closet door
Watching old tapes from years before
They are frightening to me
I keep writing to the extent
The dresses have been cleaned
But they are still so dirty
The tapes are running
But the film is out
The mannequins can still see me
With their glaring eyes
No sound, no oxygen
Where am I?
Funland, where everything is real
But some are fake
Phony is not the word
For my troubled state
The dresses will fit in my casket tomorrow
With flowers and rose petals
On every lasting hour
The mannequins are gone
So am I
