Girl Anachronism

Girl Anachronism
Artist: The Dresden Dolls
Album: The Dresden Dolls

One, two, three, four

You can tell
From the scars on my arms
And cracks in my hips
And the dents in my car
And the blisters on my lips
That Im not the carefullest of girls

You can tell
From the glass on the floor
And the strings thatre breaking
And I keep on breaking more
And it looks like I am shaking
But its just the temperature
And then again

If it were any colder I could disengage
If I were any older I could act my age
But I dont think that youd believe me
Its not the way Im meant to be
Its just the way the operation made me

And you can call
From the state of my room
That they let me out too soon
And the pills that I ate
Came a couple years too late
And Ive got some issues to work through
There I go again pretending to be you
Make believeing
That I have a soul beneath the surface
Trying to convince you
It was accidentally on purpose

I am not so serious
This passion is a plagiarism
I might join your century
But only a rare occasion
I was taken out
Before the labor pains set in and now
Behold the worlds worst accident
I am the girl anachronism

And you can tell
By the red in my eyes
And the bruises on my thighs
And the knots in my hair
And the bathtub full of flies
That Im not right now at all
There I go again
Pretending that Ill fall
Dont call the doctors
Theyve seen it all before
Theyll say just
Let her crash and burn
Shell learn
The attention just encourages her

And you can tell
From the full -body cast
That youre sorry that you asked
Though you did everything you could
Like any decent person would
But I might be catching so dont touch
Youll start believing youre immune to gravity and stuff
Dont get me wet
Because the bandages will all come off

And you can tell
From the smoke at the stake
That the current state is critical
Well it is the little things for instance
In the time it takes to break it
She can make up ten excuses
Please excuse her for the day
Its just the way medication makes her

I dont necessarily belive there is a cure for this
So I might join your century but only as doubtful guest
I was too precarious removed as a caesarian
Behold the worlds worst accident
I am the girl anarchronism
I am the girl anarchronism
I am the girl anarchronism
I am the girl anarchronism
I am the girl
I am the girl
I am the girl
I am the girl anarchronism
