[00:00.81] Girl Anachronism
[00:01.91] Artist: The Dresden Dolls
[00:02.90] Album: The Dresden Dolls
[00:04.15]
[00:16.66] One, two, three, four
[00:18.13]
[00:27.98] You can tell
[00:28.78] From the scars on my arms
[00:29.99] And cracks in my hips
[00:31.43] And the dents in my car
[00:32.80] And the blisters on my lips
[00:34.09] That I'm not the carefullest of girls
[00:36.07]
[00:36.38] You can tell
[00:37.01] From the glass on the floor
[00:38.25] And the strings that're breaking
[00:39.60] And I keep on breaking more
[00:40.88] And it looks like I am shaking
[00:42.35] But it's just the temperature
[00:44.32] And then again
[00:45.00]
[00:45.18] If it were any colder I could disengage
[00:46.87] If I were any older I could act my age
[00:49.11] But I don't think that you'd believe me
[00:50.62] It's not the way I'm meant to be
[00:53.21] It's just the way the operation made me
[00:54.99]
[00:59.46] And you can call
[01:00.19] From the state of my room
[01:01.45] That they let me out too soon
[01:02.82] And the pills that I ate
[01:04.16] Came a couple years too late
[01:05.39] And I've got some issues to work through
[01:07.50] There I go again pretending to be you
[01:10.29] Make believeing
[01:11.03] That I have a soul beneath the surface
[01:12.64] Trying to convince you
[01:13.69] It was accidentally on purpose
[01:15.36]
[01:20.72] I am not so serious
[01:21.78] This passion is a plagiarism
[01:23.26] I might join your century
[01:24.54] But only a rare occasion
[01:25.98] I was taken out
[01:27.19] Before the labor pains set in and now
[01:28.62] Behold the world's worst accident
[01:30.00] I am the girl anachronism
[01:31.48]
[01:41.25] And you can tell
[01:41.92] By the red in my eyes
[01:43.18] And the bruises on my thighs
[01:44.66] And the knots in my hair
[01:45.90] And the bathtub full of flies
[01:47.39] That I'm not right now at all
[01:49.17] There I go again
[01:50.28] Pretending that I'll fall
[01:51.99] Don't call the doctors
[01:52.91] They've seen it all before
[01:54.75] They'll say just
[01:55.84] Let her crash and burn
[01:57.49] She'll learn
[01:58.34] The attention just encourages her
[01:59.94]
[02:04.41] And you can tell
[02:05.07] From the full-body cast
[02:06.35] That you're sorry that you asked
[02:07.80] Though you did everything you could
[02:08.93] Like any decent person would
[02:10.37] But I might be catching so don't touch
[02:12.27] You'll start believing you're immune to gravity and stuff
[02:14.98] Don't get me wet
[02:15.83] Because the bandages will all come off
[02:17.74]
[02:18.23] And you can tell
[02:18.60] From the smoke at the stake
[02:19.29] That the current state is critical
[02:21.22] Well it is the little things for instance
[02:24.14] In the time it takes to break it
[02:25.25] She can make up ten excuses
[02:26.42] Please excuse her for the day
[02:28.16] It's just the way medication makes her
[02:29.66]
[02:35.04] I don't necessarily belive there is a cure for this
[02:37.54] So I might join your century but only as doubtful guest
[02:40.26] I was too precarious removed as a caesarian
[02:42.90] Behold the world's worst accident
[02:44.28] I am the girl anarchronism
[02:45.66] I am the girl anarchronism
[02:47.03] I am the girl anarchronism
[02:48.29] I am the girl anarchronism
[02:49.55] I am the girl
[02:50.84] I am the girl
[02:52.17] I am the girl
[02:53.58] I am the girl anarchronism
