The Dresden Dolls - Thirty Whacks lyrics
[The Dresden Dolls - Thirty Whacks lyrics]
Same old tricks on myself
And I wonder does everyone else live this way
A succession of tests a triumphant success
Each time I'm still intact at
The end of the day
Thirty drops in a glass -
Keep my temper and pass
With my breath held you bastards
You lucked out again! Its not really so bad
There's still mom there's still
Damage to do before they wrest
The axe from my hands
Its no mystery: you should obviously go
Before I break everything
You're always telling me that
You're dying to know
But, you're not really listening
How do I manage to station
Myself in harms way
And only get hit with a ticket for loitering
That I have no way to pay
- and no strength to argue
My personal demons can scheme
With professional care
Oh, god, they're after me
If I could shut them out just for an second
I swear i could stop this catastrophe
Thirty day guarantee
But they can't have meant me
After all I was born to a childproof world
No sharp corners or glass
Small objects or plastic bags
Please, these are death to a delicate girl
Its no mystery - you should obviously know
That i'll destroy everything
So don't go telling me that
You're dying to know
Cause you'll get what you're asking for
And I still manage to station
My self in harm's way
And only get hit with a ticket for loitering
Stating I came the wrong day
Now all the demons are screaming
Their wages aren't fair
I've left a secret kept
If I could shut them up just
For a second I swear
It'll look like an accident
I could be decent yet the magnificent end
I could be president
