The Point Of It All Lyrics - The Dresden Dolls

oh, what a noble distiguished collection of fine little friends you have made 

hitting the tables without you again, no, we'll wait, no, we promise we'll wait 

june makes these excellent sewing machines out of common industrial waste 

she spends a few months at a time on the couch 

but she's safe--she wears shades, she wears shades 

oh, but no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my baby doll 

and you're aces for playing along 

you're only human even now 

and you're learning that just 'cause they call themselves friends 

doesn't mean they'll call 

they made the comment in jest 

but you've got the needle 

i guess that's the point of it all 

maybe a week in the tropics would help to remind you how nice life can be 

we propped you right up in a chair on the deck with a beautiful view of the sea 

but a couple days later we came back and you and the chair were nowhere to be seen 

you had magically moved to the closet, eyes fixed on the place where the dryer had been 

ah, but no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my baby doll 

and you're aces for playing along 

youre almost human even now 

why on earth would I keep you locked up in here when you so love the fall? 

well, the pattern's laid out on the bed 

with dozens of colors of thread 

but you've got the needle 

i guess that's the point in the end 

it's better to waste your life watching the scenery change at a comatose rate 

then to put yourself in and turn into one of those cigarette ads that you hate 

and while you were sleeping, some men came 'round and said they had some dimensions to take 

i'm not sure what they were talking about, but they sure made a mess of your face 

ah, but no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my baby doll 

and you're aces for coming along, you're almost human even now 

and just cause they call themself experts, it doesn't mean sweet fuck all 

oh, they've got the permanent press and homes with a stable address 

and they've got excitement and life by the fistful 

but you've got the needle 

i guess that's the point of it all
