Song Description

Epiphany of joy

Lyrics

I used to wallow in my sorrow
inside my house I'd keep
I stopped answering the phone
I was into pity deep
couldn't bring myself to ask for help
you know it was a chore
to even get out of bed
much less go to the store
and then I started loosin' weight cause I'd forget to eat
I stopped payin' my bills, and they tunred off the heat
my sister finally said to me
get up off your butt
child move on with your life
get out of this rut

(chorus)
cause you're a live doll
but you're not livin' like you are
live doll, she said
you could be a star
live doll, get up on your feet
live doll

So I pulled up my bra straps
and I put my glasses on
I looked in the mirror
my face was pale and drawn
I got out of my pajamas
I'd been in 'em for a week
I brushed my teeth I combed my hair, I put some rouge upon my cheek
I ate some toast and cereal
the kind for champions
I threw open the blinds and finally faced the noon day sun
It was warm upon my face
and I started to hum
My sister shoved me out the door
she said "go on and getcha some
cause you're a live doll
you know that you are
live doll, she said, "you could be a star"
live doll, you're not too old yet, you're still alive

If it wasn't for my sister
she came over that day
I'd be wallowed to China
or well on my way
Now I'm facin' my future
without livin' in the past
not predictin' what will happen from what just happened last
I'm not the top bananna
but the bottom's not in sight
I just sing my songs for you
I must be doin' somethin' right
and when I hear that sweet guitar and that bassman pumpin' out
I'm sheddin my skin
"girl that's what I'm talkin' about"

cause I'm a live doll
yeah yeah, I'm a live doll
I'm a live doll
I'm a live doll!
