The Doll House Lyrics

    pre>d g d
    Lost in the valley of vaults/dolls/oz(?)
    G d g d
    Fell from the path, it was nobody's fault
    Bm a
    That i was alone.
    D g d
    Time dripped from the trees
    G - d
    Left through the nail (i leapt through a lamp/land/lap(?) (?))
    G d g a
    I fell to my knees before the throne
    Bm g bm
    And the crown was covered jewels, sparkling schools
    A
    The beautiful faun/falls/(?)
    G a
    The magnificent battle was fought
    Bm g a
    And cinderella's soldier fish was caught
    Bm a
    And the lady from the lake
    Bm a
    Who helped me to escape
    G em a
    Led me to myself at last
    Em a bm /a/d
    Though i danced with the dolls in the doll house

    G d g d
    The flower fled from my feet,
    G d g d
    Tom sawyer voice through the hole of the key,
    Bm a
    Landed so gently.
    D g d
    Castles cover the cave,
    G d g d
    I had no choice, the visions were brave
    Bm a
    And the phantoms were friendly,
    Bm g
    And pirate jenny was dancing for pennies,
    Bm a
    The knucklebones tossed in a spin,
    G a
    There were silver songs on her skin.
    Bm g a
    And she wasn't caring when the ship came in.

    And the lady from the lake
    Helped me to escape
    Led me to myself at last,
    Though i danced with the dolls in the doll house


    D g d
    My costume dropped to the floor,
    G d g d
    Naked at last, i couldn't fight any-more,
    Bm a
    And the service was rendered.
    D g d g d
    A poem fell from the wine, buried the past.
    G d bm a
    The future was mine and the present sur-rendered.
    Bm g
    And the ballet master is beckoning faster,
    Bm a g a
    The ballerina was posed, in the fragile beauty we froze.
    Bm g a
    Let go, let go, let go, let go, let go.


    And the lady from the lake
    Who helped me to escape
    Left me with myself at last
    Though i danced with the doll in the doll house
