The Grateful Dead
China Doll (Live at the Warfield Theatre, San Francisco, October 14, 1980)
A pistol shot at five o'clock
The bells of heaven ring
Tell me what you done it for
No, I won't tell you a thing

Yesterday I begged you
Before I hit the ground
All I leave behind me
Is only what I found

If you can abide it
Let the hurdy gurdy play
Stranger ones have come by here
Before they flew away

[Instrumental Break]

I will not condemn you
Nor yet would I deny
I would ask the same of you
But failing, will not die

Take up your china doll (Take up your china doll, ooh)
It's only fractured
Just a littlе nervous from the fall
La la la la la la la
