China Doll Lyrics

Grateful Dead

A pistol shot, at five o'clock, the bells of heaven ring,Tell me what you 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, take up your china doll,It's only fractured and just a little nervous from the fall.La-la-la-la-la-la-la.
