The Dresden Dolls - Delilah Lyrics

There's no end to the love you can give
When you change your point of view to underfoot
Very good
You may be flat but you're breathing

And there's no doubt he's at home in his room
Probably watching porn of you from the fall
It's last call

And you're the last one leaving
And you thought you could change the world
By opening your legs
Well it isn't very hard
Try kicking them instead
And you thought you could change his mind
By changing your perfume to the kind his mother wore
O god delilah why?
I never met a more impossible girl....

In this same bar where you slammed down your hand
And said "Amanda, i'm in love"
No you're not
You're just a sucker for the ones who use you
And it doesn't matter what i say or do
The stupid b*****d's gonna have his way with you...

You're an unrescuable schizo
Or else you're on the rag
If you take him back
I'm gonna lose my nerve
I never met a more impossible girl....
I never met a more impossible girl....

At four o'clock he got off
And you called up
"i'm down at denny's on route one
And you won't guess what he's done"
Is that a fact delilah?
Larry tap let you in through the back
And use his calling card again
For a quick hand of gin

You are impossible, delilah: the princess of denial
And after 7 years in advertising you are none the wiser

You're an unrescuable schizo
Or else you're on the rag
Cause if you take him back
I'm gonna lose my nerve
He's gonna beat you like a pillow
You schizos never learn
And if you take him home
You'll get what you deserve

So don't cry delilah
You're still alive delilah
You need a ride delilah?
Let's see how fast this thing can go.....


gravity

gravity plays favorites i know it cause i saw
honest to god officer it's awful
down at work i'm getting too familiar with the floor
showing off my talentsby the mouthful

hate to break it to you but its out of my control
forces go to work while we are sleeping
if i could attack with a more sensible approach
obviously thats what i'd be doing

now
necks are cracking sideways
hit me from the back side
i am on the white side
you are on the black side
cut a piece thats bite size
shoot me from my good side
if you got a straight line
this would be a good time

gravity works slowly if you notice it at all
some of us are getting mighty lucky
if you had to live with this you'd rather lie than fall
you thnk i can't fly well you just watch me

now
necks are cracking sideways
hit me from the back side
i am on the thin side
you are on the fat side
cut a piece thats bite size
shoot me from my bad side
if you got a straight line
this would be a good time

the sky is always falling down on me
so officer forgive me please!
