Act 1: S4 - Annabel Has a Doll

And so around 3 AM, a recently deceased man
Found himself wound in the land of living again
Bound in a body of gears and wheels, but oddly
He has no voice and his steel joints barely can bend
The one sound he makes, in fact, he streams radio broadcasts
He plays a country station, if you give him a pat
Our dearest Annabel is quite thrilled and ecstatic
She has a friend who was just dead and yet she brought back

What may please does not content
All resolves, but never ends
All that comforts is not true
And all you love does not love you

I have a dolly and we like to go on walks
We like to stroll around the park all while he listens to me talk
About the people and the places that I never got to see
'Cause I wouldn't leave my house, but that's before he was with me
We share a world, which is wonderful to see
It's like a dream where no one calls me failure if I don't succeed
I have a dolly, it's like flowers in the spring
And but no matter how I talk to him, he never says a thing

What may please does not content
All resolves but never ends
All that comforts is not true
And all you love does not love you

I have a dolly and he goes with me outside
Which used to be a problem for me, oh, but now I never mind
Ice cream and carriages, I always thought were nice
But never had someone to share them with because the lab's my life
Annabel, no friends, you must be brilliant and the best
You must be better and industrious or you are worthless
But now I have dolly, a dear friend with whom I go
Out for walks and talks, but he's mute and just plays the radio

Elysium
The place, the when, your sorrows end
Why'd you bring me here again?

I have a dolly who can keep me company
We go to shows, parades and cabarets though people stare at me
But I've shown that I am brilliant and I've conquered life and death
The only thing my father said is that one must be a success
And now I've got a friend, a silent clockwork double
Who can be there for me to lean on when I feel sad and troubled
I have a dolly, and he's very stabling, if not a little just too distant
'Cause he never says a thing

What you hold may wish to go
What you believe may not be so
All that brings you peace of mind
May not stay for a long time

What may please does not content
All resolves but never ends
All that comforts is not true
And all you love does not love you

Can't you speak to me?
Won't you speak to me?
All the thoughts we could share and conceive
If you'd just speak to me

Elysium
The place, the when, your sorrows end
Why'd you bring me here?
Oh, why'd you bring me here?
Why'd you bring me here again?
