old title: She’s Got Eyes (Just Like an old China Doll)
CH: She’s got eyes
just like an old china doll
They look painted on
and yet they’ve seen it all
All around Long Beach
and all the way to LA
the shattered lives are scattered
the hearts are spiked up on staves
— From the Ocean to the mountains
from the birthplace to the grave
Once you behold her
nothing will ever be the same
CH
Everywhere you go
everythings about the same
they wander around dazed
just barely whispering her name
— They walk in front of buses
they throw themselves under trains
but the sick smile on their faces
show those sorry saps are still glad she came
[br] well I looked into her eyes
and I saw my life flash by
Now I wake up screaming
every night dreaming doll’s eyes
I looked into the void
and I saw myself fall in
i see it every time
i see it in her eyes
t’s always been
v3 Here I stand the last man to fall
under her spell
a moment close to heaven
an ice age on the cold side of hell
and how can I face
the other lost souls I find
When I laughed at all of them and then now
here am I the last one in line
