I once knew a doll with a chalky face,
Sweaty, scared superman, don't fly away;
Don't dare cry if you won't give chase.

Thorned hands hidden by gloves of lace,
Don't be a beggar; nothing can stay.
I once knew a doll with a chalky face.

Lost and scared without a trace,
Sun takes your lover; Cosmic heat ray
Don't dare cry if you won't give chase.

Your stillness will only ever debase.
Alone I told you on the seventh day:
I once knew a doll with a chalky face,

A bottle of courage and 3 lines of grace,
Paralysis will never carve your way.
Don't dare cry if you won't give chase.

Blackbirds wait while you set the pace,
Fly on home, be safe, I'll pray.
I once knew a doll with a chalky face,
Don't dare cry if you won't give chase.
