about

This third, and final version of Babydoll was recorded mostly to amuse myself. I wasn't satisfied with the "Original Version" and I wanted to have at least one version which sounded like it did when I originally wrote it without backing, an "unplugged" set.

Well, I got a little carried away... so here is "Baby Doll: Live at the Faux"...

(It's a joke...)

lyrics

I've been living in fear for years
unbalanced here that I might fall
that someone would find out my tears
expose my truth and tell it all.

But I know I would die in their faces, so
that's the reason why I hide my babydoll.

When I'm making up my bed
I think about my babydoll
then I wish that I were dead
like I'd never come aware at all.

But my washing is erasing all the traces, so
I can lead a life of crime with my babydoll.

When you're in the shower
do you think about the soap?
When you're on the ladder
do you think about the rope?

When you're all alone
you know you've got a hand to hold
and you rub it up and down
and in and out.

Is this really all that life's all about?

All these lies are quite the same:
my heart, my soul, my babydoll.
I would flush it down the drain:
my flesh, my brain, my cannonball.

But the addict is engrained in the concious soul,
so I never can be free from my babydoll.
