I think it's pretty obvious that the doll is, in actuality, a sort of mechanical prostitute. That "very natural process", "dewy and sweet", "fully formed", "can be yours and yours again", "flesh is incorruptible", and the obvious reference to sin are all pretty plain innuendos. Also the "sour flesh" beneath her "limbs" and the dirty, cheap clothing the doll was wearing opposed to the tutu from the dance. The lyrics don't even suggest the possibility so much as they almost come right out and say it. Beautiful song either way, though!
