Shores of California The Dresden Dolls

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
And that's the way it is in Minnesota
And that's the way it is in Oklahoma
That's the way it's been since protozoa
First climbed onto the shores of California

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And that is why a girl is called a tease
And that is why a guy is called a sleaze
And that's why god made escort agencies
"One Life to Live" and mace and GHB

[Chorus 2]
And that's the way it is in Minnesota
And that's the way it is in Oklahoma-homa
That's the way since the animals and Noah
First climbed onto the shores of California
