broken doll

i was in a car crash she said
as she sat up in her bed
her leg in a plaster cast
in a hospital room
her body bares mute witness
to the underlying sickness
violent sexual fantasies
she''l be back here again soon
her arm still in a sling
she keeps on falling
shinjuku eastside in kabukicho
the neon lights will shine
bright again tonight
more fashion accessories will shorly follow

the city is seething with attention seeking
pleasure providing broken dolls
she's a futuristic erotic interface
always colliding, she's a broken doll

i took a fall down some steps she said
as she sat up in the same bed
shinjuku station on the maranouchi line
it was clumsy of me but i'm gonna be fine
orthopaedic collar and a bandaged head
the sling has gone, she's got a splint instead

the city is seething with attention seeking
pleasure providing broken dolls
she's a futuristic erotic interface
always colliding, she's a broken doll

her body's dissolving, condition's fading
she's never smiling, she's always falling
she's barely breathing, who's she deceiving
her skin is burning, she can't go on

i walked into a bus she said
as she hung on for life on the hospital bed
she said the first thing that came into her head
the first stupid excuse that came into her head
tonight the neon lights won't be shing bright
another dark angel's had to cancel her flight

the city is seething with attention seeking
pleasure providing broken dolls
she's a futuristic erotic interface
always colliding, she's a broken doll
