She sits up there in her house on the hill
Scared to d**h of what might and what will
Trying hard to be daddy's girl
Smiling faces in a paper doll world
Well she holds her breath,
Flies and spins on her heels
Ground starts moving to a dance surreal
Daddy always liked her in ribbons and curls
Lost in the silence of a paper doll world
But I know that she's not that way
But I know that she cries everyday
Jumped through a hoop
Try and land on your feet
Get your reward, the air's so sweet
You're always happy when you're never alone
The perfect reality carved out of stone
Well she says her prayers to a ghost in the dark
Hoping someday that she'll find the spark
Hoping someday she'll find wings of her own
A magpie song and a gypsy bone
But I know that she's not that way
She knows she's got a price to pay
But I know that she cries everyday
But I know that she's not that way
But I know that she cries everyday
