Lyrics
Valley Of The Dolls
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Bedroom mirrors do tell who's the fairest of them all
Lime light silhouette, transparent walls
Dancing shadows cascade paper dolls
Wailing ghost guitars send in the clowns
Send in the clowns
Painted plastic faces stealing mommies make up
Masque the false gods with mannequin smiles
Prima donnas play upon their pedestals of fame
Unborn girls, the false facade, illegitimate child
I won't play your game
Illegitimate child
Searching for a name
Blasphemous black Bible bias you betray bigotry
Slay the hydra pretty fair maidens spread their leprosy
Hungry children feed from hype of perpetual ego's
I slay the hydra, burn the talisman, holocaust
Run with the pack, illegitimate child
The unborn wench at war
Tears in his eyes, she became a bride
Wedlock to a whore.
Shatter the dream, the tangerine dream
Bow to kings, not the queens
Go back where you reign, to your domain
The Valley of the Dolls!
Bow to Kings of yesterday
They have given you wings to fly away
What have the phantom queens but deceived you
Armies of shadows climbing
Silvery mountains, lining molten and ask
Camouflage the battle scars with Oxy10 and Maybelline
Cloning the heros in hype magazine
Pirates of underground, lightning the speed of sound
You will prevail
And bedroom mirrors do tell who's the fairest of them all
Lime light silhouette, transparent walls
Dancing shadows cascade paper dolls
Wailing ghost guitars
Run with the pack, illegitimate child
The unborn wench at war
Tears in his eyes, she became a bride
Wedlock to a whore
Shatter the dream, the tangerine dream
Bow to Kings, not the Queens
Go back where you reign, to your domain
The Valley of the Dolls
