Lyrics:
Don't get too close
I fear that once you do you'll falter
it's not hard to tell
with all the wrinkles showing underneath my skin
try as I might, I can't quite fill them in

Don't stare too long
a pretty face can be misleading
please just move along
I swear there's nothing else worth seeing
cause a body cleansed in porcelain
can't leave behind her fingerprints
the only thing that's worth a damn
the only thing that I can stand to show
believe me when I say don't get too close

Bones poised and positioned
arms reaching tall
stood still and unflinching
come one, come all
gather round and see there's not much inside
a porcelain doll who swears that she tried
with cotton and paper and loose threads and coal
she swallowed them all to make her feel whole
but she knew from the start they could never compare
to the heart and the soul that are no longer there

So call my name
and stain my cheeks with sweet resentment
for I can't quite shake the feeling
that I liked its mention on your tongue
have I piqued your interest just enough
to get a little closer cause
a girl that's wrapped in porcelain
is hostage underneath her skin
with so much left she couldn't do
and all of them she wanted to
don't believe her when she says don't get too close

Bones poised and positioned
arms reaching tall
stood still and unflinching
come one, come all
gather round and see there's not much inside
a porcelain doll who swears that she tried
with cotton and paper and loose threads and coal
she swallowed them all to make her feel whole
but she knew from the start they could never compare
to the heart and the soul that are no longer there

(please don't get too close)
a girl that's wrapped in porcelain
is hostage underneath her skin
(please don't get too close)
with so much left she couldn't do
and all of them she wanted to
