The Dresden Dolls - Bank of Boston Beauty Queen lyrics
I've tried dolls that were guaranteed sixteen
 Or under none were very exciting
 Sorta like a laugh track or whacking off they'll get you off
 But it's just not the real thing
 But It's been decades since my pit days
 But I havent shaken it, I sit there like an idiot
 Still caught up in the old punk protocol
 And dreaming that the teenagers will think that I'm a radical
 And I still wait for the bus to come
 Where high school got torn down
 Still expecting to find true love
 Among the skateboarders hanging out
 In back of the bank in my hometown
 All this talk and no action's got me stiff from the tit to the bone
 So I'm living in lala land
 But at least I'm not living at home
 Same old catcall same old chemicals
 Same old thrills
 Stealing stockings from the shopping mall
 It's simple enough to grow the fuck up happy with the rough cut
 Nobody's in the market for a diamond in the rough
 But I still wait for my mom to come
 And pick me up at Holly's house
 Ten years after they cashed it in
 To make a multi-level parking lot for a seven-eleven and Burger King
 I've got cryptographs I've got all the phones tapped
 I've got proof enough it is indisputable
 Love's not good enough I want pies and graphs
 Something that will teach me my arithmetic at last

 I'm on the loose again
 And getting more ridiculous the more I think I ought to get my mind out of the gutter
 It's getting dangerous, Amanda, God
 You're old enough to be his fucking
 My own private highway from the cradle to the grave
 I save a bundle skipping middle age and saturdays
 And I still wait for the cops to come
 Where the station since burned down
 Still expecting that they'll pick me up
 For all the sins I committed
 In the back of the banged-up pickup truck
 I've got autographs, backstage passes
 And leather jacket back patches up the
 Ask me anything I want evidence
 Single serving saccharine packets dripping black with lipstick kisses
 I still wait for the bus to come back where the high school got torn down
 Still expecting to find true love among the sakteboarders hanging out
 In back of the bank in my home
 I'm no pederast it was nice to ask
 Thank you but I'm capable
 Of getting up and getting dressed
 Love's not good enough I want photographs
 Something that will teach me come inside
 Time and time again
 I think I'll head downtown again
 Oh God
 I'm sixteen
 No, I'm ten
 I'm seventeen
 And a bank of Boston beauty queen
But I'm...
