"The Doll Song" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS
"The Doll Song"

I had seven little dolls
In a bag
And I tell them my troubles
And the dolls say, "Nag, nag, nag, nag"
It's all you ever do
Is that all you're capable of?
And I said to the little dolls
"You have no compassion"

[Refrain:]
Baby I'm talking to inanimate objects over you
I'm talking to inanimate objects over you

I was reading the Bible
I Corinthians 13
Where Paul talks all about love
But I don't know what he means
Because he says that love is kind
That has not been my experience
So I set the Bible on the kitchen table
And yelled at the Bible until I was no longer able, baby

[Refrain:]
I'm talking to inanimate objects over you
I'm talking to inanimate objects over you
Yeah I'm talking to inanimate objects over you
Yeah I'm talking to inanimate objects over you
