Bitter Lyrics - Singles - The Dresden Dolls

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....
