Rag Doll
Let me tell you a tale no taller than I am 'Bout an act I was in way back, turned out to be a sham Still had strings on my back at that point in time She made me sing, wisecrack, and pantomime The only warmth I felt was the spotlight shine Wooden doll ain't all that bad, coulda been the hull of a wrecked ship A dreidel that couldn't spin or a six-foot-deep coffin But with her hand creepin' up my spine, thoughts would never be mine So I had to cut my strings, maybe lose the cape, make my escape Felt like cuttin' a vein, but to her, I was cuttin' the reins 'Cause I ain't your ragdoll, darlin' No, siree, no, that ain't me I got bones and blood, though you may disagree I hope you're chokin' on your water 'cause my thoughts ain't made to order No, siree So no matter how immobilizin', lay off ventriloquizin' Live in a town without a leash law, learn how to use a hacksaw Despite this phantom pain and proper paranoia Despite the lies sprouted up into sequoias Well, I still meant at least half the things I told ya But I ain't your ragdoll, darlin' No, siree, that ain't me I got bones and blood, though you may disagree I hope you're chokin' on your water 'cause my thoughts ain't made to order No, siree From Letras Mania
