Lyrics The Doll House - Phil Ochs

The Doll House

Fell from the path, it was nobody’s fault
That I was alone.
Time dripped from the trees
Left through the nail (I leapt through a lamp/land/lap (?) (?))
I fell to my knees before the throne
And the crown was covered jewels, sparkling schools
The beautiful faun/falls/(?)
The magnificent battle was fought
And Cinderella’s soldier fish was caught
And the lady from the lake
Who helped me to escape
Led me to myself at last
Though I danced with the dolls in the doll house
The flower fled from my feet,
Tom Sawyer voice through the hole of the key,
Landed so gently.
Castles cover the cave,
I had no choice, the visions were brave
And the phantoms were friendly,
And Pirate Jenny was dancing for pennies,
The knucklebones tossed in a spin,
There were silver songs on her skin.
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
