Shaking the Doll Songtext

von Heather Nova

Oh O won't be your pretty baby;
I won't eat from your hand again.
And teh 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.

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 pyin,
But I have to live myself again.

I'm diggin up, I'm diggin up
I'm diggin up, I'm diggin up
I'm diggin up, I'm diggin up
I'm diggin in the earth.

I'm looking for signs
And I'm shaking the dolls
And the fairy-tales liied
And somewhere, back there
I didn't understand;
Man and women and women and man.
And I'm shaking the dolls
I'm shaking the dolls.

Ooh- the dream isn't coming through;
I can't feel for you.
Well somewhere, back there
I didn't understand;
Man and women and women and man.
And I'm shaking the dolls
I'm shaking the dolls.
I want to be with my body again,
You can't make me hollow again.

Ooh- the dream isn't coming through;
I can't feel for you.

Love, shooting up, through my veins-
I gotta get a hit again.
