The Backsliders - Paper Doll World lyrics

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
