Lyrics The Dresden Dolls

The Dresden Dolls

Boston

All the cities in the world

And so very little time and

So many different girls...

All you have to do is find them.

There’s a wealth of opportunity you make your plans accordingly.

A pity but the pretty ones are usually more touristy.

Say, how'd you like to run away from these machines?

Everywhere the spies are printing out your dreams.

Seven stops in seven different countries, seven page itineraries

Memories thick as bloody marys, jesus, jospeh, bloody hell!

Right now we’re here in Boston

In love with downtown crossing

New York will still be there in the morning

Come back to bed my darling

I had Julian and Steve,

You had Julia and Jeanette.

You wear your terror on your sleeve

For all the men I haven't met… yet.

I had Oliver in Potsdam you had Eleanor in Amsterdam

We’re keeping score so carefully we've missed the state we're in completely

Honestly your foot is out the door and I’ve got scores of offers

Elsewhere and keep both feet planted firmly in the air!

And tomorrow you can totally erase me from your mind,

No, really, everything is fine, because

Right now we're here in Boston

In my apartment in the south end

Forget your friends in London

Come back to bed my darling

You can put the details in a letter

The more embarrassing the better

Right now I can be happy if I choose to

I know that in the morning I will lose you....

And maybe you'll go mad

And maybe ill go gray

And pack up to Berlin

Or maybe it won’t matter anyway

We’ll find out that your mom was right and you'll admit you're really gay

And maybe ill wake up

In a city far away

Or maybe we'll make up

And buy a house and have a couple kids and Labrador and microwave

But anyway

Right now we're here in Boston

In Eden where you almost pulled your pants down

Don’t worry who these jokes will all be lost on

Come back to bed my darling

There is nothing in the world that we can count on

Even that we will wake up is an assumption

But I know for a fact that I loved someone

And for about a year he lived in Boston...
