"Doll Face (Doomed Version)" lyrics
"Doll Face (Doomed Version)"
I come from not far from here
A long time ago
Spent years on the mountain
Before they even built the town below
Had a place on that ridge
With a view for miles around
Until the day those men came up
And dragged me into town
It was a shame what they did to me
A crying shame
It was a shame the way they treated me
Back in town they beat me down so bad
I passed into something else
When I woke I looked
I couldn't even recognize myself
Completely covered in useless information
Anyone looking could see
Chucked in the back of a truck with a rubber band
Stuck around what's left of me
The next thing I know I'm thrown in a yard
Where I wait a while and then
This old man walks out in a bathrobe
Picks me up and walks me in
And he freed me from that rubber band alright
But then in what seemed like a flash
He glanced me over once
And then he threw me in the trash
That's how I ended up on this landfill
Here lying around
Waiting for this pile of garbage
We're on to work its way back underground
Where I hope to grow up tall again
Maybe even right here on this very spot
That might seem like a pipe dream to you
But, doll face, it's all I got
You see people seem to think the world was made for them
Might be true
But there's is a crack in every sidewalk
Where the grass breaks through
You know what I'm saying, baby
Stick with me
Someday you'll have it made
In the shade of a tree
Someday you may have it made
In the shade of a tree
