China Doll Lyrics

China Doll
----------

A pistol shot, at five o'clock,
the bells of heaven ring,
tell me what you done it for,
No I won't tell you a thing.

Yesterday I begged you
before I hit the ground,
all I leave behind me
is only what I found.

If you can abide it,
let the hurdy-gurdy play,
stranger ones have come by here
before they flew away.

I will not condemn you
nor yet would I deny,
I would ask the same of you,
but failing, will not die.

Take up your china doll,
take up your china doll,
it's only fractured
and just a little nervous from the fall.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la.
