China Doll Lyrics – Suzanne Vega

China Doll Lyrics by Suzanne Vega

A pistol shot at five o’clock
The bells of heaven ring
“Tell me what you’ve 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
It’s only fractured –
And just a little nervous
From the fall

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
