Truce Lyrics - Dresden Dolls - The Dresden Dolls

You can have Washington, I'll take New Jersey 

You can have London but I want New York city 

I should get Providence, I've got a job now 

Los Angeles obvious that's where you belong now 

You can have Africa, Asia, Australia 

As long as you keep your hands off Cafe Pamplona 

We can split Germany right down the middle 

You'd hate it there anyway, take Berlin and we'll call it even 

You can have all of the carry-on baggage 

I'll trade the saskia jokes for the alphabet language 

On special occasions, we'll split between parents 

Who forced us to hate them on alternating weekends 

You call it over and I call you psycho 

Significant other just say, we were lovers 

And we'll call it even, we'll call it even 

I am the ground zero ex-friend you ordered 

Disguised as a hero to get past your borders 

I know when I'm wanted, I'll leave if you ask me to 

Mind my own business and speak when I'm spoken to 

I am the tower around which you orbited 

I am not proud, I am just taking orders 

I fall to the ground within hours of impact 

I hit back when hit and attack when attacked 

You get Route 2 between Concord and Lexington 

I want mass ave from the square to my apartment 

And if we should meet through some misunderstanding 

I'll be very sweet, very patient and forgiving 

Now get off my side of the state 

And if we should see one another in passing 

Despite these techniques there is sometimes no avoiding 

There must be some kind of mistake 

We'll raise high our white flags and bow heads and shake hands 

Declaring the land, we're on un-American 

We'll call it even, we'll call it even 

I am the tower around which you orbited 

I am not proud, I am just taking orders 

I fall to the ground within hours of impact 

I hit back when hit and attack when attacked 

And I am an accident waiting to happen 

I'm laughing like mad as you strangle the captain 

My place may be taken but make no mistake 

From a little black box, I can say without shame 

That you've lost, that you've lost 

Do you know what you've lost? 

So take whatever you'd like, I'll strike like the states on fire 

You won't sleep very tight, no hiding no safe covers 

Make your bed and now lie just like you always do 

You can fake it for the papers but I'm on to you, I'm on to you 

Take whatever you'd like, I'll strike like the states on fire 

You won't sleep very tight, no hiding no safe covers 

Make your bed and now lie just like you always do 

You can fake it for the papers but I'm on to you, I'm on to you 

I'm on to you, I'm on to you 

Amanda, you're telling me a fairy tale
