Heather Nova Shaking the Doll lyrics

Oh, I won't be your pretty baby
I won't eat from your hands 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, I have to live with myself again

I'm diggin' up, I'm diggin' up
I'm diggin' up, I'm diggin' up
I'm diggin' up, I'm diggin' up
I'm diggin' 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

Ooh, the dream isn't comin' 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

Ooh, I have to live with myself again
Ooh, I have to live my body again
Ooh, you can't make me hollow again
Ooh, I have to live with myself again
Ooh, the dream isn't comin' through
I can't feel for you

Love, shooting up through my veins
I gotta get a hit again
