The Dresden Dolls - Shores of California lyrics
[The Dresden Dolls - Shores of California lyrics]
He's been trying with limited success
To get this girl to let
Him get into her dress
But every time he thinks he's getting close
She threatens death before he gets a chance
And that's the way it is in Minnesota
And that's the way it is in Oklahoma
That's the way it's been since protozoa
First climbed onto the shores of California
And she's been trying with limited success
To get him to turn out the lights and dance
Cause like any girl all she really wants is
That fickle little bitch romance
That fickle little bitch romance
And that is why a girl is called a tease
And that is why a guy is called a sleaze
And that's why god made escort agencies
"One Life to Live" and mace and GHB
And that's the way it is in Minnesota
And that's the way it is in Oklahoma-homa
That's the way since the animals and Noah
First climbed onto the shores of California
Must not be too kind
Stop thinking love is blind
Clench your fists, yeah write
"she's just not my type"
Why all these conflicting specifications
Maybe to prevent overpopulation
All I know is that all around the nation
The girls are crying and
The boys are masturbating
The girls are crying and
The boys are masturbating
And that's the way it is in Minnesota
And that's the way it is in Oklahoma-homa
That's the way Aristophanes and Homer
Wrote the Iliad and Lysistrata
And that's the way it is in Minnesota
And that's the way it is in Oklahoma-homa
That's the way it's been since antiprotozoa
First climbed onto the shores of California
To get this girl to let
Him get into her dress
But every time he thinks he's getting close
She threatens death before he gets a chance
And that's the way it is in Minnesota
And that's the way it is in Oklahoma
That's the way it's been since protozoa
First climbed onto the shores of California
And she's been trying with limited success
To get him to turn out the lights and dance
Cause like any girl all she really wants is
That fickle little bitch romance
That fickle little bitch romance
And that is why a girl is called a tease
And that is why a guy is called a sleaze
And that's why god made escort agencies
"One Life to Live" and mace and GHB
And that's the way it is in Minnesota
And that's the way it is in Oklahoma-homa
That's the way since the animals and Noah
First climbed onto the shores of California
Must not be too kind
Stop thinking love is blind
Clench your fists, yeah write
"she's just not my type"
Why all these conflicting specifications
Maybe to prevent overpopulation
All I know is that all around the nation
The girls are crying and
The boys are masturbating
The girls are crying and
The boys are masturbating
And that's the way it is in Minnesota
And that's the way it is in Oklahoma-homa
That's the way Aristophanes and Homer
Wrote the Iliad and Lysistrata
And that's the way it is in Minnesota
And that's the way it is in Oklahoma-homa
That's the way it's been since antiprotozoa
First climbed onto the shores of California
