Ventriloquists And Dolls Lyrics - Momus

The music hall is dark, the city lies in silence 

Traffic lights are changing in the distance 

The radio plays Brahms 

Opening the door of his Fiesta the ventriloquist 

Steps out into the air beneath the stars 

Rubs his hands against the frost 

And tucks the dummy in her case beneath his arm 

Ventriloquists and dolls 

Tailors and their dummies 

Moving in parallel worlds 

Like wolves and little girls 

Gangsters and their molls 

Ventriloquists and dolls

And slowly on his painful wooden leg the ventriloquist 

Clumps up the wooden steps towards his flat 

A single room filled up with mannequins 

And dangling from the beams on tangled strings, a marionette 

And his carving's been so painstaking it looks for all the world 

Like flesh and blood 

Realistic to a fault, his dolls are portraits carved in wood 

Of little girls 

Ventriloquists and dolls 

Tailors and their dummies 

Moving in parallel worlds 

Like wolves and little girls 

Gangsters and their molls 

Ventriloquists and dolls 

Photos 

And opening the bottle with his teeth 

He pours the beer into the beerglass on the bed 

Drinks it at a gulp, brings up the gas 

Takes off his pants, unscrews his wooden leg 

And though his face is frighteningly ugly and he takes her by surprise and very fast 

The doll he crushes under him immediately agrees to everything he asks 

Ventriloquists and dolls 

Tailors and their dummies 

Moving in parallel worlds 

Like wolves and little girls 

Gangsters and their molls 

Ventriloquists and dolls
