Shaking the Doll Lyrics

11. Shaking The Doll

W/picking
1. Oh I won't be your pretty baby,
I won't eat from your hands again
And the man in the white says it's alright,
He says, come on girl give up the fight
You'll go to sleep, there will be no pain
Well I want to live with myself again
2. Well, where we lived there was a lighthouse,
Throwing a white beam into our house,
Over my body when I was sleeping,
Over the secrets I was keeping,
I could tell myself there would be no pain
But I have to live with myself again
B. I'm digging up, I'm digging up, I'm digging up, I'm digging up
I'm digging up, I'm digging up, I'm digging in the earth
I'm looking for signs and I'm shaking the dolls
And the fairy-tales lied
And somewhere, back there I didn't understand
Man and woman and woman and man
And I'm shaking the dolls I'm shaking the dolls
Oooh, the dream isn't coming through
picking
I can't feel for you
And somewhere, back there I didn't understand
Man and woman and woman and man
And I'm shaking the dolls I'm shaking the dolls
Oooh I wanna live with myself again
Oooh I have to live with my body again
Oooh You can't make me hollow again
Oooh I have to live with myself again
Oooh, the dream isn't coming through
picking
I can't feel for you
picking
La la la la la la la...
Love, shooting up, through my veins, I gotta get a hit again
