Dresden Dolls - Thirty Whacks Lyrics
thirty licks with a belt - playing tricks on myselfand i wonder if everyone else is this waya succession of tests a triumphant successeach time its still intact at the end of the daythirty drops in a glass - keep my temper and passwith my breath held you bastards ill get you! but then -its not really so bad, theres still mom theres stilldamage to do before they wrest the axe from my headsits no mystery: you should obviously gobefore i break everythingyoure always telling me that youre dying to knowbut youre not really listeninghow do i manage to station myself in harms wayand only get hit with a ticket for loiteringthat i have no means to pay - and no strength to arguethe voices are infesting up through the floorboards and theyremurmuring murder meif i could shut them out just for an hour i sweari could stop this catastrophethirty day guaranteebut that cant include meafter all im at home in this childproof worldno sharp corners or glassno small objects or plastic bagsplease, these are death to a delicate girlits no mystery - you should obviously knowthat ill destroy everythingso dont keep telling me that youre dying to knowcause youll get what youre asking forhow can it be that i still put myself in harms wayand only get hit with a ticket for loiteringthat i have no means to pay - what kind of place is this?now all the voices are screaming this just isnt fairbut ive got a fool proof planif i can get them alone for an hour i swearitll look like an accidenti could be decent yetill make up for everythingi could be president....
