Lyrics

Doris

None-too-smart by books

None-too-pretty

Kind of a chore to look at

Doris has had some things go wrong in her little life

And they show on her face

There are things she doesn't talk about

There are things she only tells her mom

There are things she never tells anyone

There are things in Doris' life

But then there are in everyone's...

Then she opens her little mouth

She sings her little song and like a flag

It folds out across the city

And it goes:

"The fat man becomes an ice-skater...

Maniac becomes a stepfather...

I watch a policeman's mouth -

Out comes an honest word."

Miracles happen when Doris sings

Couples in love stop dead in their tracks

Dishes clatter to the ground, unbroken

Politicians die

She watches as her son becomes an imbecile

Watches as her son becomes a vegetable

Watches as her son becomes a senator

Watches as her only son becomes an imbecile

And it makes her cry

She waves her little song like a flag

It goes out across the city

Miracles have happened

But I'm in love with the sound
