| Story Behind the Song
 Musically, it was really just an unfinished idea.
 I gave it to Susan to see if she could come up
 with any rough ideas, and she returned a day
 later with a complete song!  So, I changed the
 arrangement a bit, but basically kept the
 original idea, since Susan had built the lyrics
 and story around that.
 
 We completed the lead vocal track in one day, and
 added the backing vocals the next.  It went
 very smoothly overall.
 
 
 LyricsDo you hear him say, do you hear him beg, do you see him stare?
 
 Do you hear him beg, did you see him steal, have you seen their faces?
 
 Have you seen him cry, do you hear him beg, have you seen him in the jail?
 
 Have you ever wanted to become all the things you can't believe?
 
 Have you ever wanted to become all the things you meant to be?
 
 Can you understand all the things that I say?
 Can you understand?  Can you be the one?
 
 If you ever look into his eyes at the terror
 His face will haunt you when you're all alone
 He will run away, he will find a way, to find you asleep in your little
 dollhouse, your little dollhouse, with Barbie and Ken, both will be home
 
 You run away and run away you run so fast
 You run away to hide away from your past
 You run away, you run so fast away...
 
 Mommy sings a little lullabye, Daddy reads a little book
 
 Uncle's in the laundry room, little sister's getting shook
 
 Nobody is watching 'cause we're tied up on the floor
 
 Nobody is kneeling now that Daddy is a whore
 
 Anyone can see that this is a happy family
 
 Anyone would know that hell was made for you and me...
 
 Can you understand all the things that I say?
 Can you understand?  Can you be the one?
 
 If you ever look into his eyes at the terror
 His face will haunt you when you're all alone
 He will run away, he will find a way, to find you asleep in your little
 dollhouse, your little dollhouse, with Barbie and Ken, both will be home
 
 You run away...
