[Verse 1]
Somebody said, "Don't let it go to your head
All this talking, all this talking
Let the words go
It's time to begin the show
Let's start walking, let's start walking."

[Pre-Chorus]
Walking, talking, we are like dolls
Aching, breaking, shatter when we fall

[Chorus]
We are like dolls
Working in a factory
A factory of bombs
We are like bombs
Looking for a burning match
Singing like we're strong
Singing like we're strong

[Verse 2]
Nobody knows where the years go
Show me the stairwell where I tripped and fell
Stand on your stage and step out of your cage
Don't let them make your world into an oyster shell

[Pre-Chorus]
Walking, talking, we are like dolls
Aching, breaking, shatter when we fall

[Chorus]
We are like dolls
Working in a factory
A factory of bombs
We are like bombs
Looking for a burning match
Singing like we're strong
Singing like we're strong

[Instrumental Break]
(Strong, strong, strong)

[Chorus]
We are like dolls
Working in a factory
A factory of bombs
We are like bombs
Looking for a burning match
Singing like we're strong
Singing like we're strong

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, better known as MARINA (formerly Marina and the Diamonds), is a Welsh singer-songwriter and musician.

Growing up in Wales, England and Greece, Marina became “obsessed with becoming a singer, almost as if it was a disease.” After moving to London, it took four years before she established herself as a singer-songwriter. After several independently-released EPs, she placed second on the BBC Sound of 2010 list. In 2010, her debut album, The Family Jewels, was released to critical acclaim and chart success, eventually being certified Gold in the UK.

Her 2012 sophomore album, Electra Heart, was a concept album in which she embraced the titular persona—a vapid, blonde “straight-up pop star” who arose out of her label’s demands for a more commercial pop sound and Marina’s desire to maintain artistic integrity. It became her most successful album, debuting atop the UK, Scotland and Ireland album charts.
