The Dresden Dolls - Dear Jenny lyrics
Boys wear overcoats in heat like this to keep themselves from showing.
Girls fill out prescriptions for the tricks that keep their hearts from growing.
Specialists review the year in tears and call for drastic measures:
"Send them to resorts for boys and girls to get their wits together!"
Sad, but true- the facts of life are bound to get you down.
So what's the use, dear Jenny? Anyway, the world is pretty
world is pretty
Ashley talks to astronauts back home by means of fax transmission.
Andy gets a new tattoo each time he gets back bathroom privelege.
Weary, oh so drearily, we wave our flags into the camera.
It's Amber goes the hotline, we're all friends but no one ever answers
Sad, but true- the truth can turn your smile to a frown.
So what's the use, dear Jenny? Anyway, the world is pretty
world is pretty, world is pretty upside-down...
The rates are better in the summer
Oh-a-o-a-oh-a-oh
The rates are better in the summer
Aohhh, aohhh
Looks like old Jenny's doing better
Oh-a-o-a-oh-a-oh
The rates are better in the summer
Back at home, the broadcast warning bounces off of an empty table.
Jenny asks the astronauts to sleep with her behind the stable.
Christmas hasn't been the same since Dad put in the central heating
checks you before bedtime with a battery to keep your new heart beating.
And the world might turn a million times around before
they tell you, Jenny. Anyway, the world is happy, world is happy,
world is happy, world is happy.
Sometimes they let strangers in and other times they check their records;
When they check out in the morning, Dad puts out the lie detectors.
Jenny prays to gods she's never heard of for a special warning.
All the walls stay dead as Jenny's head is
but shes still observing.
Sad, but true- the two of us might really make it through.
So what's the use, dear Jenny? Anyway,
the world is happy, world is happy,
world is happy without you...
The rates are better in the summer
Oh-a-o-a-oh-a-oh
The rates are better in the summer
Aohhh, aohhh
Looks like old Jenny's doing better
Oh-a-o-a-oh-a-oh
The rates are better in the summer
