Lyrics Thirty Whacks - The Dresden Dolls
Thirty
licks
with
a
belt,
same
old
tricks
on
myself.
And
I
wonder
does
everyone
else
live
this
way?
A
succession
of
tests,
a
triumphant
success,
Each
time,
I'm
still
in-tact,
at
the
end
of
the
day.
Thirty
drops
in
a
glass,
keep
my
temper
and
pass
With
my
breath
held.
You
bastards,
you
lucked
out
again!
It's
not
really
so
bad.
There's
still
mom,
there's
still
Damage
to
do
before
they
wrest
the
axe
from
my
hands.
It's
no
mystery
you
should
obviously
go,
Before
I
break
everything
You're
always
telling
me
that
you're
dying
to
know
But
you're
not
really
listening.
How
do
I
manage
to
station
myself
in
harms
way,
And
only
get
hit
with
a
ticket
for
loitering...
That
I
have
no
way
to
pay?
And
no
strength
to
argue.
My
personal
demons
can
scheme
with
professional
flair...
Oh,
god,
they're
after
me!
If
I
could
shut
them
out
just
for
a
second,
I
swear
I
could
stop
this
catastrophe.
Thirty
day
guarantee,
But
they
can't
have
meant
me.
After
all,
I
was
born
to
a
child-proof
world.
No
sharp
corners,
or
glass,
Small
objects,
or
plastic
bags.
Please,
these
are
death
to
a
delicate
girl.
It's
no
mystery
- you
should
obviously
know
That
I'll
destroy
everything.
So
don't
go
telling
me
that
you're
dying
to
know-
'Cause
you'll
get
what
you're
asking
for.
And
I
still
manage
to
station
myself
in
harm's
way,
And
only
get
hit
with
a
ticket
for
loitering,
Stating
I
came
the
wrong
day.
Now
all
the
demons
are
screaming,
their
wages
aren't
fair.
I've
left
a
secret
kept.
If
I
could
shut
them
up
just
for
a
second,
I
swear
It'll
look
like
an
accident.
I
could
be
decent
yet!
The
magnificent
end
I
could
be
president...
