Rumble Doll

Patti Scialfa


Baby take a walk in toy land
Be my hero play the part
I'm falling down 
Hard from salvation
Come protect this China heart
Though my party dress is torn
I still walk and talk 
And cry and crawl
And I've got no one on my arm
Well I am just a rumble doll

Now some girls 
Are just born lucky
Yeah 
They're lucky that's for sure
Well in my soul 
I've never felt 
That clean though I
I know my heart is pure
Sometimes I feel 
Like I know too much, and
Sometimes I feel 
Like I don't know nothing at all
But I can still be 
Soft to the touch
Well, I am just a rumble doll

Now I don't know how 
To unlock the door
To those forgiving words, no I
I just don't understand
'Cause every time 
I try to turn that key
It leaves a dark stain in my hand
So measure my intentions
Against my sins
And if you think my name 
It should be called
I'll be on the outside 
Somewhere looking in
Well I am just a rumble
I am just a rumble
Well I am just a rumble doll

So baby 
Take a walk in toy land
Be my hero play the part
I'm falling down 
Hard from salvation
Come protect this China heart
