John Trudell - Baby Doll's Blues lyrics

In a cosmos of temptations leanings All that went down had many meanings She saw some light Hidden behind the dark In rivers of loneliness Anger left its mark Many of life's chapters Written by wrong doing men Gambling to win Her desperation hot to lose again A woman holds Remnants of girl child's goals Wandering through dimensions Of wandering souls Much more pain than glory As her story unfolds The reality is The illusion keeps playing roles Late night sleeping dreams Still coming back A mind with the blues Wearing mourning black Baby doll's blues A girl now all grown up The golden chalice turns to a Teflon cup Play house dreams Devoured by living scenes Everything's something with nothing As it seems Gnawing pain Aching from long time hurt Suppression memory Reflections self worth There's a noisy closet Behind a locked door Filled with a past That can't take anymore Reaching for the key To let her run free Life beyond the image See another reality In love with a man so slow to learn Standing her ground No more cheeks to turn Cages were built by what's been done This sister a prisoner Living under the gun Standing accused she cries That's not me I'm a real person why why won't you see Baby doll's blues A girl now all grown up The golden chalice turns to a Teflon cup Play house dreams Devoured by living scenes Everything's something with nothing As it seems Needing the peace she's searching for Worn down from those days at war With private truths she wants to tell But she doesn't want to be put through hell When she finds a love that can understand She'' be free having found a promised land
