Shaking The Doll Lyrics by Heather Nova

Shaking The Doll Lyrics

    Oh i won't be your pretty baby
    I won't eat from your hand 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

    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

    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

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

    Well 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
    Ooh i have to live with myself again
    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
