Shaking The Doll - Heather Nova

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

Oooh, 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

Oooh I have to live with myself again

Oohh I want to be with my body again

OoohYou can’t make me hollow again

Oooh, the dream isn’t coming through

I can’t feel for you

Love, shooting up, through my veins

I gotta get a hit again
