Phantom Doll Lyrics - Flower Of Avalon - Tracy Grammer

raggedy ann came out to play 

copping a thin disguise against the day 

painted a face across the mask 

victim of the looking glass: 

store windows are cruel 

mannequin charms outshine her own 

running away from her reflection home 

hangin her head behind the door 

sleepin on the kitchen floor 

in glorious dreams 

she walks outside her skin 

her face so fine, her waist so thin 

her voice like chimes and mandolins 

beautiful phantom doll 

saturday night on circus street 

beating a long and ill-conceived retreat 

carnival barkers bar her way 

she never hears a word they say 

in glorious dreams 

she strolls, the boys beseech 

the venus queen of venice beach 

so near, so ever out of reach 

beautiful phantom doll 

midnight, the struggle is over 

rise up, lily-white delicate shoulders 

outside, the poets all know her 

all of her children are waiting... 

beggars and wrecks line junkyard lanes 

tiffany slippers click-clack through the rain 

rickety bones and sheer chiffon 

dancin on the mayors lawn 

in glorious dreams 

they glide through gilded rooms 

the drakes and gravely pale dragoons 

the wasted daughters of the moon 

beautiful phantom doll 

raggedy andy wrote this song 

scribbled it here where oceans meet the dawn 

scuttled away on hansen claws 

cinderella sailors draw 

on glorious dreams 

sunrise, she spins her spells 

on rising tides of wishing wells 

on aphrodite lotus shells 

beautiful phantom doll
