Girl Anachronism Lyrics - Dresden Dolls - The Dresden Dolls

You can tell 

From the scars on my arms 

And the cracks in my hips 

And the dents in my car 

And the blisters on my lips 

That I'm not the carefullest of girls 

You can tell 

From the glass on the floor 

And the strings that're breaking 

And I keep on breaking more 

And it looks like I am shaking 

But it's just the temperature 

And then again 

If it were any colder I could disengage 

If I were any older I could act my age 

But I don't think that you'd believe me 

It's not the way 

I'm meant to be 

It's just the way 

The operation made me 

And you can tell 

From the state of my room 

That they let me out too soon 

And the pills that I ate 

Came a couple years too late 

And I've got some issues to work through 

There I go again 

Pretending to be you 

Make believing 

That I have a soul beneath the surface 

Trying to convince you 

It was accidentally on purpose 

I am not so serious 

This passion is a plagiarism 

I might join your century 

But only on a rare occasion 

I was taken out 

Before the labor pains set in and now 

Behold the world's worst accident 

I am the girl anachronism 

And you can tell 

By the red in my eyes 

And the bruises on my thighs 

And the knots in my hair 

And the bathtub full of flies 

That I'm not right now at all 

There I go again 

Pretending that I'll fall 

Don't call the doctors 

'Cause they've seen it all before 

They'll say just 

Let her crash 

And burn 

She'll learn 

The attention just encourages her 

And you can tell 

From the full-body cast 

That you're sorry that you asked 

Though you did everything you could 

Like any decent person would 

But I might be catching so don't touch 

You'll start believing 

You're immune to gravity and stuff 

Don't get me wet 

Because the bandages will all come off 

And you can tell 

From the smoke at the stake 

That the current state is critical 

Well it is the little things, for instance 

In the time it takes to break it 

She can make up ten excuses 

Please excuse her for the day 

It's just the way the medication makes her 

I don't necessarily believe there is a cure for this 

So I might join your century but only as a doubtful guest 

I was too precarious removed as a caesarian 

Behold the worlds worst accident 

I am the girl anachronism 

I am the girl anachronism 

I am the girl anachronism 

I am the girl anachronism 

I am the girl 

I am the girl 

I am the girl 

I am the girl anachronism
