Bank Of Boston Beauty Queen Lyrics - Singles - The Dresden Dolls

I've tried dolls that were guaranteed sixteen or under none were very exciting 

Sorta like a laugh track or whacking off they'll get you off but it's just not the real thing 

Its been decades since my pit days 

But I haven't shaken it - I sit there like an idiot 

Still caught up in the old punk protocol 

And dreaming that the teenagers will think that I'm a radical 

and I still wait for the bus to come where the high school got torn down 

Still expecting to find true love among the skateboarders hanging out 

In back of the bank in my hometown 

all this talk and no action's got me stiff from the tit to the bone 

So I'm living in lala land - but at least I'm not living at home 

Same old catcalls, the same old chemicals 

Same old thrills stealing stockings from the shopping mall 

Its simple enough to grow the fuck up happy with the rough cut 

Nobodys in here looking for a diamond in the rough but 

I still wait for my mom to come and pick me up at holly's house 

10 years after they cashed it in to make a multi-level parking lot for a seven-eleven and burger king 

I've got cryptographs I've got all the phones tapped 

It's proof enough it is indisputable 

Love's not good enough I want photographs 

Something that will teach me my arithmetic at last.. 

better get your kids in - I'm on the loose again 

And getting more ridiculous the more I think I ought to get my mind out of the gutter 

(it's getting dangerous, amanda-you are old enough to be the pork) 

He's my own private highway from the cradle to the grave 

I save a bundle skipping middle age and saturdays 

and I still wait for the cops to come where the station since burned down 

Still expecting they'll pick me up for all the sins I committed in the back of the banged-up pickup truck 

I've got autographs, backstage passes and leather jacket back patches up the... 

Ask me anything I've got evidence 

Single serving saccharine packets dripping black with lipstick kisses 

I still wait for the bus to come back where the high school got torn down 

Still expecting to find true love among the sakteboarders hanging out 

In back of the bank in my home- 

I'm no pederast just out of interes 

Thank you ,but I'm capable of getting up and getting dressed 

Love's not good enough I want photographs 

Something that will teach me common sense 

Time and time again 

I think ill dye my hair again 

Oh god 

Sixteen 

No, I'm ten 

I'm seventeen 

And a bank of boston beauty queen....
