The Dummy Songtext
von Cold Chisel

Here′s one written by Ian, he also sings it
This one's called "The Dummy"

He′s not that eloquent
He whispers just a simple word
The pain before her body
Reflects a love so tender, so absurd

With a figure like a fencepost
And a face that frightens kids and little dogs
He'd stand before the window
And worship her in silence all night long

But she knows she has to leave him
She has to make the leap
Because his ways are introverted and his mind runs really deep
And she knows he cannot help it if he cries himself to sleep
She'll be gone, she′ll be gone in the morning


The neons flood the sidewalk
And flicker on the merchandise unsold
She′s passive, but unyielding
And her heart within her soul is icy cold

But she knows she has to leave him
She has to make the leap
'Cause his ways are introverted and his mind runs pretty deep
And she knows he cannot help it, if he cries himself to sleep
She′ll be gone, she'll be gone in the morning

They′re gone, them eyes are glassy
And her arms erase the milky attitude
He leans against the parking sign
And relishes that mutual solitude

She'll be gone, in the morning
She′ll be gone

Thankyou
