Sex Changes Lyrics - Yes Virginia - The Dresden Dolls

Dear Mr. and or Mrs. sender 

We're pleased to inform you that your application's been accepted 

Starting from the time you get this letter 

Your life will be one never-ending "hope you're feeling better" 

You get your choice of an aesthetic 

Ah we need to chop your clock off tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock 

It might not be what you expected 

There is no money back once you've been ripped off, ripped off, ripped off 

Today's a very special day 

The boys'll murder for it but what will the neighbors say? 

It leaves you feeling pretty hollow it might be nice to look at 

Don't forget you're stuck with it tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow 

You're big enough to stop pretending 

You'll start to really show it in a week or so 

So don't go saying it's just come to your attention 

You'll get more than you're asking for without the right protection 

Today's a very special day 

And how you'd love to have a little thing with which to play 

But love won't get you very far, today be still your beating heart 

You'll have to keep on feeding it tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow 

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow 

Boys will be boys, will be boys, will be boys, will be boys 

Will be boys, will be girls with no warning 

Girls will be girls, will be guys, will be boys that don't cry over toys 

That they use to beat girls they despise by the morning 

They always said that sex would change you 

Change you, change you, change you 

No second thoughts the knife is nearing 

You'll never hear the little pitter patter pitter patter 

Of this little feat of engineering 

Of course I love you and of course it's what's inside that matters 

But I think the whole charade is ending 

It seems to me to be the only way to keep from getting 

Caught up in a long life of regretting 

The doctors say that once you get a taste for it should keep on cutting 

But while you happen to be here 

Why don't you whisper all those sweet forevers in my ear? 

Stiff upper lip in all this sorrow, hurry up and stick it in 

You never know when it will end tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow 

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow 

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow 

They always said that sex would change you 

Change you, change you, change you
