The Grateful Dead China Doll Lyrics

A pistol shot, at five oclock,
the bells of heaven ring,
Tell me what you done it for,
no I wont 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,
Its only fractured
and just a little nervous from the fall.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la.
