Intended as a songwriter demo, this country rocker has developed a small, but limited -- er, loyal -- following.

If you've been around, you know that "doll eyes" are the flat, unseeing eyes of someone who is deeply under the influence of drugs. This songwriter demo has more than a few rough edges but should amuse OBN fans, revealing songwriter TK's country roots.

She's Got Eyes Just Like A China Doll

refrain:
She's got eyes
just like a china doll
They look painted on
and yet they've seen it all


All around Long Beach
and all the way to LA
the shattered lives are scattered
and their hearts are spiked up on staves
From the Ocean to the mountains
from the birthplace to the grave
Once you behold her
nothing will ever be the same

Everywhere you go
everything is all about the same
they wander around dazed
just barely whispering her name
they walk in front of buses
they throw themselves under trains
but the sick smile on their faces
shows those sorry saps are still glad she came


Well I looked into her eyes
and I saw my life flash by
Now I wake up screaming
every time I see a doll's eyes

I looked into the void
and I saw myself fall in
I see it every time
I see it in her eyes
It's always been

Here I stand the last man to fall
under her spell
a moment close to heaven
and an ice age on the cold side of hell
And how can I face
those other lost souls I find
When I laughed at all of them and then now
here am I the last one in line
