Thirty Whacks
The Dresden Dolls

Thirty licks with a belt - same old tricks on myself

And I wonder does everyone else live this way

A succession of tests a triumphant success

Each time I'm still intact at the end of the day

thirty drops in a glass - keep my temper and pass

With my breath held you bastards you lucked out again!

Its not really so bad, there's still mom there's still

Damage to do before they wrest the axe from my hands

its no mystery: you should obviously go

Before I break everything

You're always telling me that you're dying to know

But you're not really listening

how do I manage to station myself in harms way

And only get hit with a ticket for loitering

That I have no way to pay - and no strength to argue

My personal demons can scheme with professional care

Oh, god, they're after me

If I could shut them out just for an second

I swear

I could stop this catastrophe

thirty day guarantee

But they can't have meant me

After all I was born to a childproof world

No sharp corners or glass,

Small objects or plastic bags

Please, these are death to a delicate girl

its no mystery - you should obviously know

That I'll destroy everything

So don't go telling me that you're dying to know

Cause you'll get what you're asking for

and I still manage to station my self in harm's way

And only get hit with a ticket for loitering

Stating I came the wrong day

Now all the demons are screaming their wages aren't fair

I've left a secret kept

If I could shut them up just for a second I swear

It'll look like an accident

I could be decent yet

The magnificent end

I could be president....
