The Dresden Dolls

Alternative Rock · dark Cabaret · punk Rock

The Dresden Dolls are an American musical duo from Boston, Massachusetts. Formed in 2001, the group consists of Amanda Palmer (vocals, piano, harmonica, ukelele) and Brian Viglione (drums, percussion, guitar, vocals). The two describe their style as "Brechtian punk cabaret", a phrase invented by Palmer because she was "terrified" that the press would invent a name that "would involve the word gothic." The Dresden Dolls are part of an underground dark cabaret movement that started gaining momentum in the early 1990s. Wikipedia

I'm counting back The number of the steps It took for me to get Back on the wagon of the weekend		I'll use the autotimer to prove that I'll get home with my imagination If they find the body in the basement "in the very house that she was raised in!"
I'm taking down The number of the Times So when we get the sign From god I'll be the first to call them		I'm taking back the number of the beast Cause 6 is not a pretty number 8 or 3 are definitely better A is for the address on the letter To my alcoholic friends
I'm trying hard Not to be ashamed Not to know the name Of who is waking up beside me Or the date, the season or the city But at least the ceiling's very pretty And if you are holding it against me		I'll be on my best behavior Taking shots for mother nature Once my fist is in the cupboard Love is never falling over
Should I choose a noble occupation If I did I'd only show up late and Sick and they would stare at me with hatred Plus my only natural talent's wasted on my alcoholic friends My alcoholic friends
