Shores Of California Lyrics - Yes Virginia - The Dresden Dolls

He's been trying with limited success 

To get this girl to let him get into her pants 

But every time he thinks he's getting close 

She threatens death before he gets a chance 

And that's the way it is in Minnesota 

And that's the way it is in Oklahoma 

That's the way it's been since protozoa 

First climbed onto the shores of California 

And she's been trying with limited success 

To get him to turn out the lights and dance 

Cause like any girl all she really wants 

That fickle little bitch romance 

That fickle little bitch romance 

And that is why a girl is called a tease 

And that is why a guy is called a sleaze 

And that's why god made escort agencies 

One life to live and mace and GHB 

And that's the way it is in Minnesota 

And that's the way it is in Oklahoma 

That's the way since the animals and Noah 

First climbed onto the shores of California 

Must not be too kind 

Stop thinking love is blind 

Clench your fists yeah write 

"She's just not my type" 

Why all these conflicting specifications 

Maybe to prevent overpopulation 

All I know is that all around the nation 

The girls are crying and the boys are masturbating 

And that's the way it is in Minnesota 

And that's the way it is in Oklahoma 

That's the way Aristophanes and homer 

Wrote the Iliad and Lysistrata (not in that order) 

And that's the way it is in Minnesota 

And that's the way it is in Oklahoma 

That's the way it's been since protozoa 

First climbed onto the shores of California
