The Doll House (Live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lost in the valley of vaults
I fell from the path, it was nobody's fault
That I was alone
Time dripped from the trees
I leapt through a land
Fell to my knees before the throne
And the crown was covered with jewels
Sparkling schools, the beautiful fauns
The magnificent battle was fought
And Cinderella's soldier fish was caught

[Chorus]
And the lady from the lake
Who helped me to escape
Led me to myself at last
Though I danced with the dolls in the doll house

[Verse 2]
The fog fled from my feet
Tom Sawyer voice through the hole of the key
Landed so gently
Castles cover the cave
I had no choice, the visions were brave
And the phantoms were friendly
And Pirate Jenny was dancing for pennies
The knuckle bones tossed in a spin
There were silver songs on her skin
And she wasn't caring when the ship came in

[Chorus]
And the lady from the lake
Helped me to escape
And led me to myself at last, at last
Though I danced with the dolls in the doll house

[Verse 3]
My costume dropped to the floor
Naked at last, couldn't fight any more
And the service was rendered
A poem fell from the wine
I buried the past, the future was mine
And the present surrendered
And the ballet master was beckoning faster
The ballerina was posed
In the fragile beauty we froze
Let go, let go, let go, let go, let go

[Chorus]
And the lady from the lake
Who helped me to escape
Left me with myself at last
Though I danced with the dolls in the doll house
