phil ochs - the doll house lyrics

d g d
lost in the valley of vaults/dolls/oz(?)
g d g d
fell from the path, it was n-body’s fault
bm a
that i was alone.
d g d
time dripped from the trees
g – d
left through the nail (i leapt through a lamp/land/lap(?) (?))
g d g a
i fell to my knees before the throne
bm g bm
and the crown was covered jewels, sparkling schools
a
the beautiful faun/falls/(?)
g a
the magnificent battle was fought
bm g a
and cinderella’s soldier fish was caught
bm a
and the lady from the lake
bm a
who helped me to escape
g em a
led me to myself at last
em a bm /a/d
though i danced with the dolls in the doll house

g d g d
the flower fled from my feet,
g d g d
tom sawyer voice through the hole of the key,
bm a
landed so gently.
d g d
castles cover the cave,
g d g d
i had no choice, the visions were brave
bm a
and the phantoms were friendly,
bm g
and pirate jenny was dancing for pennies,
bm a
the knucklebones tossed in a spin,
g a
there were silver songs on her skin.
bm g a
and she wasn’t caring when the ship came in.

and the lady from the lake
helped me to escape
led me to myself at last,
though i danced with the dolls in the doll house

d g d
my costume dropped to the floor,
g d g d
naked at last, i couldn’t fight any-more,
bm a
and the service was rendered.
d g d g d
a poem fell from the wine, buried the past.
g d bm a
the future was mine and the present sur-rendered.
bm g
and the ballet master is beckoning faster,
bm a g a
the ballerina was posed, in the fragile beauty we froze.
bm g a
let go, let go, let go, let go, let go.

and the lady from the lake
who helped me to escape
left me with myself at last
though i danced with the doll in the doll house
