Lyrics China Doll [Live] - Grateful Dead

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.
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,
It′s only fractured and just a little nervous from the fall.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la.
