Dear Jenny Lyrics - No, Virginia... - The Dresden Dolls

Boys wear overcoats in heat like this to keep themselves from showing 

Girls fill out prescriptions for the tricks that keep their hearts from growing 

Specialists review the year in tears and call for drastic measures 

Send them to resorts for boys and girl to get their shit together 

Sad but true the facts of life are bound to get you down 

So whats the use dear jenny anyway the world is pretty... 

Ashley talks to astronauts back home by way of fax transmission 

Andy gets a new tattoo each time he gets back bathroom privilege 

Weary oh so drearily we wave our flags into the camera 

Amber goes berserk completely she's been here since last December 

Sad but true the truth can turn your smile to a frown 

So whats the use dear jenny anyway the world is pretty 

Upside-down... 

The rates are better in the summer 

Looks like dear jenny's doing better 

Back at home the broadcast warning bounces off of an empty table 

Jenny asks the astronauts to sleep with her behind the stable 

Christmas hasn't been the same since dad put in the central heating 

Checks you before bedtime with a battery to keep your new heart beating 

And the world might turn a million times around before 

They tell you jenny anyway the world is pretty world is pretty happy world is pretty happy 

Sometimes they let strangers in and other times they check their records 

When they check out in the morning dad puts out the lie detectors 

Jenny prays to gods she've never heard of for a special warning 

All the walls stay dead as Jenny's heart is 

But shes still observing 

Sad but true the high-gloss gloss paint wont tell you what to do 

So whats the use dear jenny anyway 

The world is happy 

World is happy 

World is happy without you 

The rates are better in the summer 

The rates are better in the summer 

Looks like old jenny's doing better 

The rates are better in the summer
