lyrics

I hold six little prisoners
In my little dollhouse
But this sad sad story,
Which I'm gonna tell, shows
That every game on earth has rule
And sometimes life is sweet or cruel

Once, a little while ago,
One of the dolls broke out and so
I had to search for it and yell
For me it was some kind of hell

When I turned back this foolish guy
Recount the others, so did I
What everybody would have done
And so the punish-walz begun

Before he could deprave the house
I opened up his prating mouth
And crammed him with his liberty
Infront the others, so they see

You can not trust them
So better bust them
And spread their dust then
To the seas

Just if you cant bust them
Better trust them
And go down just then
On your knees

The other time, I was aghast,
First I guessed it was a test
One chamber of the house was messed
Two culprits with no cloths ran fast

Pervert games they played all night
Of course it ended in a fight
All my puppets were awake
The consequence was thus the stake.

I bound them on a phallic stick
Told the others, they were sick
They would infect them, if they might,
And set their burning love alight

You can not trust them
So better bust them
And spread their dust then
To the seas

Just if you cant bust them
Better trust them
And go down just then
On your knees

At least, it was the toughest task,
When three of them began to ask
Their grief for truth was not to keep
They asked until they made me weep

And as they recognized, that I'd
Shown weakness weeping they denyed,
Just like they said, to be my whore
And left me just for evermore

You can not trust them
So better bust them
And spread their dust then
To the seas

But if you cant bust them
Better trust them
And go down just then
On your knees

I had six little prisoners
In my little dollhouse
But this sad sad story,
Which I told, shows
That every game on earth has rule
And sometimes life is sweet or cruel

about

The Metafiction Cabaret Berlin, Germany

They open up the funniest abyss and climb up the unsettlingest altitude-flights through their musical vortex in between show and art. Their catchy melodies will trap you into a sparkling netherworld, feed you with soft piano sounds, but also hit you with punchy drums and guitars. You’ll get lost in that spectacle of unsecure performance of concert. ... more
