Annie exhibited incredible abilities

At a very tender age

Her mother's edict "It's a liability and

you must do as I say"

Annie was curious

Annie was sensuous

And she had an imagination

But under Victoria they called that dementia and

So they locked her... locked her away



She rustles down the hallway buttons corset bustle binding

They bound her to the bedposts and they shut her up with ether

She rustles down the hallway buttons corset bustle binding

She'll haunt this house forever her laughter's a reminder



Annie was taken out to the outskirts of town

Said "You are hysterical"

Her doctor's orders "Tie her up and calm her down,

Oh you know she isn't too well"

My dear you're delirious

My dear you're lascivious

And now we will commence to treat you

Laudanum sedating you

Bromide placating you

So they drugged her locked her away
