Fox Dollhouse Theme Song

February 7 2009 26 Comments

Here’s the scoop on the Dollhouse theme song. Jonatha Brooke and Eric Bazilian collaborated on a theme song for the new Fox series Dollhouse, directed by Joss Whedon.  The song is called, “What You Don’t Know,” and the music video for that theme song is below.  The Dollhouse theme song is pretty good, but more importantly, it shows quite a few new scenes from the first episode of Dollhouse.  Brooke writes on her website that Joss also used her song  “Inconsolable” on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Here are the lyrics as best I can tell from listening to the song:

What you don’t know won’t hurt you
Maybe the lies are true
Try to remember
Try to forget
Though yesterday’s bleeding through

You’ll never see me coming
You’ll never know my name
Try to remember
Try to forget
But you’ll never be the same

I could do anything
I could go anywhere
I could be anything
For anyone
Tonight

I could do anything
I could go anywhere
I could be anything
For anyone
Tonight

I’m already going
I’m already gone
There’s a stranger in my place

You’ll never find me
But I’ll never run
Because the angels know my face

Updated — Feb. 11, 2009 – Jonatha Brooke commented on her website on the fact that Fox took down the YouTube bootleg of the theme song from Dollhouse.  Luckily for you guys at ActiveDollhouse.com, I found another bootleg!

DOLLHOUSE is almost upon us. In fact Friday the 13th is the premier. Fox took the bootleg of the video of the theme song down from YOUTUBE. ;(

We’ll keep you posted as to where and when it shows up next. I guess it’s only right that they control how they roll the show out. I would feel the same about a new record!

That being said ;) I hope the show kicks BUTT. I LOVED the original little tease. I loved the pilot. It was so sexy and ridiculously far fetched. Addictive. Go Eliza and Joss. I’m rooting for you!! For us all.

    where can we download this song???? i have been looking EVERYWHERE!!! haha

  • death said:

    I think it’s “yesterdays bleeding through.” Pretty sure I hear the L in there and it would make sense in that Echo’s memories of dollhouse bleed through while she’s imprinted.

  • Active Dollhouse (author) said:

    Tough to tell but that makes sense. I’ll update the page.

  • Austin Storm said:

    The line is definitely “Yesterday’s bleeding through.” No question.

  • Lia said:

    Is this song available on iTunes yet? I REALLY want it on my iPod. ^^;

  • Tinos said:

  • Kitten said:

    Yeah, it’s “Yesterdays bleeding through.”
    I love this song, I couldn’t find it ANYWHERE, it was agitating me.

  • Victoria said:

  • Hanna said:

    The line

    “There’s a stranger in my head”

    Should be

    “There’s a stranger in my place

    Here is the correct lyrics as I hear them on the iTunes stereo video download (which I am listening to right now. If you agree feel free to cut and paste them and then delete this post.
    What you don’t know won’t hurt you.
    Maybe the lies are true.
    Try to remember,
    Try to forget
    Those yesterdays bleeding through.

    You’ll never see me coming
    You’ll never know my name
    Try to remember
    Try to forget
    But you’ll never be the same

    I could do anything
    I could go anywhere
    I could be anything
    For anyone
    Tonight

    I could do anything (Just let me sleep for a little while)
    I could go anywhere (Just wanna sleep for a littl while)
    I could be anything (Just let me sleep for a little while)
    For anyone
    Tonight

    I’m already going
    I’m already gone
    There’s a stranger in my place

    You’ll never find me
    But I’ll get along

  • Sine Nomine said:

    I see the last line got lopped off:

    I’m already going
    I’m already gone
    There’s a stranger in my place

    You’ll never find me
    But I’ll get along
    ‘Cause the angels know my face

    I’m embarrassed to admit that I’m thoroughly addicted to Youtube Mobile!

  • mewithoutyoufan said:

    Why don’t they put it on itunes?
    I’ve been looking everywhere…..
    I need it on my ipod!

  • Marsha Lyn said:

    They have this on iTunes to buy now, I bought it the other day and have listened to it non stop since then. I love the extended version (not just the verses they have as the Dollhouse theme song).

  • Marsha Lyn said:

    Here are the words of the extended version so far as I can make out.

    What you don’t know won’t hurt you
    Maybe the lies are true
    Try to remember
    Try to forget
    Though yesterday’s bleeding through

    I’m already going
    I’m already gone
    There’s a stranger in my place
    You’ll never find me
    But I’ll never run
    Cause the angels know my face

    You’ll never see me coming
    You’ll never know my name
    Try to remember
    Try to forget
    But you’ll never be the same

    I’m already going
    I’m already gone
    There’s a stranger in my place
    You’ll never find me
    But I’ll never run

    I could do anything
    I could go anywhere
    I could be anything
    For anyone
    Tonight

    I could do anything
    (Just let me sleep for a little while)
    I could go anywhere
    (Just want to sleep for a little while)
    I could be anything
    (Just want to sleep for a little while)
    For anyone
    Tonight

    I’m already going
    I’m already gone
    There’s a stranger in my place
    You’ll never find me
    But I’ll never run
    Cause the angels know my face

    La la la la la ……

  • Marsha Lyn said:

    Oops, sorry it didn’t copy the right one. Here it is with the line fixed to read “But I’ll get along” instead of “But I’ll never run”.

    I am about 90% sure the lyrics at the end are “’cause the angels know my name” (repeat of the above verse “you’ll never know my name”)
