Paper Doll

Rachael Yamagata

Only daughter

You got your ticket too soon

Holy Water

'Cause everybody's getting ruined

They are waiting to see what you do

Too long, waiting



Everybody's cleared the room

And they'll dress you up

Stand you in all the right places

Words like honey

Smile as they change your faces

With no regard to you at all

And you find they treat you like a paper doll



And they'll dress you up for the flight

Like Ophelia, you wave goodnight

With the earth and sky you cheer and cry

Writhe as all your days go by

And laugh as you die



Sweet softer shoulder, oh sweet sugar safe



Everybody's got their own life philosophy

And I can't wait 'til I find one coming from me

Oh, the bridge is narrow

You better not look down

'Cause as soon as you jump over

You won't find nobody around

Oh, the bridge is narrow

And you've got so far to fall

And you know down in dirty water's

No place for a paper doll
