Phantom Doll Lyrics by Playing Rapunzel

Hanging By A Hair

2017

[Verse: Mich Sampson]
Raggedy Ann came out to play
Kittened 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
Hanging her head behind the door
Sleeping on the kitchen floor

[Chorus: Mich]
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

[Verse: Marilisa Valtazanou]
Saturday night on circus street
Beating a long and ill-conceived retreat
Carnival barkers bar her way
She never hears a word they say

[Chorus: Mich & Marilisa]
In glorious dreams
She strolls, the boys beseech
The Venus queen of Venice Beach
So near, so ever out of reach
Beautiful phantom doll

[Bridge: Marilisa]
Midnight, the struggle is over
Rise up, lily-white delicate shoulder
Outside, the poets all know her
All of her children are waiting

[Verse: Mich]
Beggars and wrecks line junkyard lanes
Tiffany slippers click-clack through the rain
Rickety bones and sheer chiffon
Dancing on the mayor's lawn

[Chorus: Mich & Marilisa]
In glorious dreams
They glide through gilded rooms
The drakes and gravely pale dragoons
The wasted daughters of the moon
Beautiful phantom doll

[Verse: Marilisa]
Raggedy Andy wrote this song
Scribbled it here where oceans meet the dawn
Scuttled away on hands and claws
Cinderella sailors draw

[Chorus/Outro: Mich and Marilisa]
On glorious dreams
Sunrise, she spins her spells
On rising tides of wishing wells
On Aphrodite lotus shells
Beautiful phantom doll
Beautiful phantom...
Beautiful phantom...
Beautiful phantom...
Doll...
