Dresden Dolls Shores Of California Lyrics

Shores Of California lyrics

He's been trying with limited success
To get this girl to let him get into her dress
But every time he thinks he's getting close
She threatens death before he gets a chance

And that's the way is in Minnesota
That's the way is in Oklahoma
That's the way it's been since protozoa
First climbed onto the shores of California

And she's been trying with limited success
To get him to turn out the lights and dance
'Cause like any girl all she really wants
Is that fickle little bitch romance, that fickle little bitch romance

And that is why the girl is called a tease
And that is why the guy is called a sleaze
And that's why God made escort agencies
One life to live and mace and GHB

And that's the way it is in Minnesota
That's the way it is in Oklahoma, homa
That's the way since the animals and Noah
First climbed onto shores of California

Must not be too kind
Stop thinking love is blind
Clench your fists, yeah, right
She's just not my type

Why all these conflicting specifications
Maybe to prevent overpopulation
All I know, is that all around the nation
The girls are cryin' and the boys are masturbatin'
The girls are cryin' and the boys are masturbatin'

And that's the way it is in Minnesota
That's the way it is in Oklahoma, homa
The way since Aristophanes and homer
Wrote the Iliad and Lysistrata

That's the way it is in Minnesota
That's the way it is in Oklahoma, homa
That's the way since the ancient protozoa
First climbed onto the shores of California
