Biography:
The Dresden Dolls are an American musical duo from Boston, Massachusetts. Formed in 2001, the group consists of Amanda Palmer (vocals, piano, ukulele, toy piano, harmonica) and Brian Viglione (drums, percussion, guitar, vocals).
They describe their heavily art-damaged and theatrical 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',"

Am F C
Thirty licks with a belt; same old tricks on myself.
Dm
And I wonder: Does everyone else live this way?
Am F C
A succession of tests, a triumphant success,
Dm
Each time I'm still intact, at the end of the day.
Am F C Dm
Am F C
Thirty drops in a glass, keep my temper and pass
Dm
With my breath held. You bastards, you've lucked out again!
Am F
It's not really so bad. There's still mom, there's still
C Dm
Damage to do before they wrest the axe from my hands.
Am F C
It's no mystery: you should obviously go,
Dm
Before I break everything.
Am F C
You're always telling me that you're dying to know;
Dm
But you're not really listening.
F Am E
How do I manage to station myself in harm's way,
F
And only get hit with a ticket for loitering
Am E
That I have no way to pay? And no strength to argue.
F Am E
My personal demons can scheme with professional care...
Oh, god, they're after me!
F Am
If I could shut them out just for a second,
E
I swear:
I could stop this catastrophe.
Am F C Dm
Am F
Thirty day guarantee,
C
But they can't have meant me.
Dm
After all, I was born to a child-proof world.
Am F
No sharp corners, or glass,
C
Small objects, or plastic bags.
Dm
Please, these are death to a delicate girl.
Am F C
It's no mystery - you should obviously know
Dm
That I'll destroy everything.
Am F C
So don't go telling me that you're dying to know
Dm
'Cause you’ll get what you're asking for.
F Am E
And I still manage to station myself in harm's way,
F
And only get hit with a ticket for loitering,
Am E
Stating I came the wrong day.
F Am E
Now all the demons are screaming, their wages aren't fair.
I've left a secret kept.
F Am E
If I could shut them up just for a second, I swear:
It'll look like an accident.
Am F C Dm
I could be decent yet!
Am F C Dm
Be magnificent!
Am F C Dm
I could be president...
Thirty licks with a belt; same old tricks on myself.
Dm
And I wonder: Does everyone else live this way?
Am F C
A succession of tests, a triumphant success,
Dm
Each time I'm still intact, at the end of the day.
