Shaking the Doll by Heather Nova Lyrics

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
