Artist: the dresden dolls
Song: bitter
a dirty deed is brewing green ivy overgrowing
the scissors poised and ready and she said that she was going
a thousand hours of waiting she put it all in writing
she pricked her finger for it but she's not cooperating
oh i swear
by the river styx
that's where i am fixed.
but i think the time is nearing i think i might be thawing
if only i were certain that my temperature weren't falling
and the tourists have been coming
from my fingers sawing
pieces for exhibits where impressive crowds are drawing
oh i swear
by the river styx
that's where i am that's where that's where i am i am fixed
and if i had the patience and i had the humor and you had the slightest clue what all this
fuss was for all of the times that i say that ill do it there's 909 that i secretly ruin its good
that i tell you what i am escaping for over the rainbow and out through the back door
if only i could prove it
if only i could do it
if only i could torture all the people who can use it
and at the final hour i am forced to sit and gather
the thousand hours of inspiration slowly growing sour
oh i swear
by the river styx
that's where i am that's where that's where i am i am fixed
and if i had an offer to be better id decline
and if it were more awful to consider id be fine
and if it were all my fault
that i'm that i'm that i'm that i'm
and i've pined and i've regretted that i aided and abetted
this end and if it isn't it will be soon you bet it will be
and the tapes are in the fire
go to bed because i'm tired
of saying it is done
because i've always been a liar
.....and if it were all my fault that i'm bitter....
