Devil Stitched in Cotton

If you're possession of such a doll, of if such a doll is in possession of you now, remember, one of you can always donate the other to your local museum of shadows;-) Lyrics... [Intro] Little lace bonnet Button eyes rotten Sugar-smile frozen Black thread knotted (mmhmm) [Verse 1] Found her in a cedar chest Wrapped in lace and graveyard dust Somebody prayed Somebody cursed Stitched their secrets in her husk Rocking chair clawed ‘cross the floor Crosses turned themselves around Bible pages fluttered hard When that little rag hit ground (oh Lord) [Chorus] Devil stitched in cotton Laughin’ in the seams Tiny teeth of porcelain Chewin’ through my dreams She’s smilin’ so polite While the shadows crawl and grin There’s somethin’ evil in that doll And it’s reachin’ for my skin [Verse 2] She don’t walk But quilts slide off Moonlight bends to kiss her shoes Candles hiss in colored smoke Spelling out my family’s blues Thunder in the parlor walls Footsteps on an empty stair Mason jars all dance and clink When she tilts her tangles hair (hey!) [Chorus] Devil stitched in cotton Laughin’ in the seams Tiny teeth of porcelain Chewin’ through my dreams She’s smilin’ so polite While the shadows crawl and grin There’s somethin’ evil in that doll And it’s reachin’ for my skin [Bridge] She hums hymns backward Low Calls my dead by name Curtains braid themselves in knots Spellin’ out my shame Spiderwebs spell “promise” On the ceiling Faint and red She winks And all the picture frames Turn their faces to the bed (oh!) [Chorus] Devil stitched in cotton Laughin’ in the seams Tiny teeth of porcelain Chewin’ through my dreams She’s smilin’ so polite While the shadows crawl and grin There’s somethin’ evil in that doll And it’s reachin’ for my skin [Outro] [Music box slows Fiddle tremolo rising] Little lace bonnet Button eyes watchin’ If I burn her Will she burst Or just move in to my coffin? #Witchcraft #Halloween #HalloweenMusic #SpookyMusic #FolkRock #Witch #Witchy #Wiccans #WiccanCommunity #Wiccan #Wicca #Pagan #HauntedDoll #HauntedDolls
