Rialto Broken Barbie Doll lyrics

Back when she was a girl
There was a plan to see her through her life
Get married, settled down
And have some kids and be a good housewife

But she would go to bed at night
With day-glow stars and fairy lights
Stuck on the ceiling of her room
As she dreamt of another life

Now it's too late to go back home
It's saccharine and silicone for a broken Barbie doll
Sleeping pills and alcohol
And nights she'd rather not recall for a broken Barbie doll

And though the hands that played with her were cold
She let them drag her down
And as her cardboard world begins to fall
She's lying on the ground

Now it's too late to go back home
It's saccharine and silicone for a broken Barbie doll

Sleeping pills and alcohol
And nights she'd rather not recall for a broken Barbie doll

Her mother writes her every week
She says she's worried for health
Her dad says she's finding her feet
But now she's lying on the shelf
Like faulty goods that are returned
Her pretty fingers are all burnt

Now it's too late to go back home
It's saccharine and silicone for a broken Barbie doll
Sleeping pills and alcohol
And nights she'd rather not recall for a broken Barbie doll

Broken Barbie doll, for a broken Barbie doll
Broken Barbie doll, for a broken Barbie doll
Broken Barbie doll
