It tells the story of a lonely woman who controls/hypnotizes men, killing them if things didn’t go her way. Its narrative ties very closely to her ot...
[Verse 1]
A dancing puppet doll, made of wood
I bet he'd run away one day if he could choose to leave or stay
He's got a string attached to every bone
She's got him round her little finger so she'll never feel alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh sometimes I wonder, did he go
But not the man, of course his soul
Dreaming about wonderland
Wakes up and he's a man
Sometimes I wonder, did he go
Not the man, of course his soul
Dreaming about wonderland
Wakes up and he's a man
[Chorus]
Oh, taking control over another man's mind
Oh taking control over another man's mind
Oh, taking control over another man's mind
Oh taking control over his mind
[Verse 2]
The idea of leaving her has struck his mind
When he sees her smile he's hypnotised and he can't leave her behind
Looking to his left, there's the door
No need to try, tried it once before
And their bones're hiding beneath the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder, did he go
But not the man, of course his soul
Dreaming about wonderland
Wakes up and he's a man
Sometimes I wonder, did he go
But not the man, of course his soul
Dreaming about wonderland
Wakes up and he's a man
[Chorus]
Oh, she's taking control over another man's mind
Oh taking control over another man's mind
Oh, taking control over another man's mind
Oh taking control over his mind
When they were out to buy her wedding-gown
She wanted nothing but the dress over a-hundred-thousand pounds
But what she wants she gets, or she will cry
Hits the man with her umbrella
She'll continue till he dies...
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder, did he go
But not the man, of course his soul
Dreaming about wonderland
Wakes up and he's a man
Oh, taking control over another man's mind
Taking control over his mind
[Chorus]
Oh, taking control over another man's mind
Oh taking control over another man's mind
Oh, taking control over another man's mind
Oh taking control over his mind
Taking control over another man's mind
Oh taking control over another man's mind
Oh, taking control over another man's mind
Oh taking control over his mind
