Phil Ochs - The Doll House lyrics
Your rating:
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
