China Doll Lyrics

I went to bed in the morning
I went alone
Before we run outta time, luv
I wanna know
Forever working me over
Burning me out
I'll be the beast of your burden
Carry your doubt

Don't bring me over those burning coals
Or pick the flesh from my livin' bones
She's got you in her claws
That ain't a lie
The little china doll
Dying alive

In the end, an ocean
Poured over a stone
Will gather and dry
But a stone is a stone
Sheep flock together
Eagles fly alone
And a dove has no place
Among the crows

Don't bring me over those burning coals
Or pick the flesh from my livin' bones
She's got you in her claws
That ain't a lie
The little china doll
Dying alive

A stone is a stone
Stone is a stone, stone is a stone, stone is a stone
Stone is a stone, stone is a stone, stone is a stone
Stone is a rock

Don't bring me over those burning coals
Or pick the flesh from my livin' bones
She's got you in her claws
That ain't a lie
The little china doll
Dying alive
The little china doll
