Lyrics Grateful Dead – China Doll
Text:
A pistol shot at 5 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
it’s only fractured —
and just a little nervous
from the fall»
