The Dresden Dolls - Bitter lyrics

rate me

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....
