Lyrics

Jacqueline, you called me
Dismissive of the honor
Another layer of disappointment to pile upon the others
The doll that made me scream
Her eyes rolled back
Dollhouse I forgot as I danced in old robes
Dress up, dress up, dress up
Jacqueline, where are you?
Where have you put all your disappointment?
Is it in an old box full of tea from 1940?
I could hear your disapproval in your silence at the sirens
That thundercloud we all respected
Sitting by vases full of fresh cut flowers
Chrysanthemums and freesias full of fragrance
I catch a whiff of you now
Of lily of the valley and the large green soap upstairs
Are the sorrows all erased with a change of state?
Or did you send them along to me in a wrinkled sleeve?
Or the artificial pearls?
Jacqueline dances with the doll in her arms
Before rushing to the dollhouse
And marveling at the electric lights
She never left Holland and learned to speak impeccably
She's not pan-Asian or flat-footed
She doesn't sing embarrassing things with green streaks in her hair
She doesn't steal the tiny chocolates
They're always waiting for her there
Chokers in hand, garnets and rubies
Clasps to silence all the irritated memories
I lay them flat, unsure how to proceed
Maybe to remake them or give them away
Here in a place where
French names are not the height of chic
Where everyone calls me Janet anyway
Where everyone calls me Janet anyway
Jacqueline, where are you?
Jacqueline, you called me
Jacqueline, you called me
