Shaking the doll

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.
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.
