Ultima Esperanza Lyrics - No, Virginia... - The Dresden Dolls

Downloading doves on your fancy computer 

You're shooting for love in the dark 

Hey boss, you've found her now go instant message 

Her name is a pretty good start 

Ultima sits in her bedroom in Texas 

And waits for her hamsters to touch 

She lost her legs in a car crash three years ago 

She doesn't get around much 

But she is hoping someday 

Somebody will take her away 

Now that you got her address you can send her 

A matching attachment and face 

Slick rhododendrons you make out of paper 

With flowers that never lose shape 

You have a video camera strapped 

To your forehead in case she is true 

Smiling, rewind as we die in slow motion 

As if it's not happening to you 

Don't be afraid of the dark ages darling 

You may have to wait, your lover is coming 

With mixes of Marlyn songs 

And pictures she took at the throne 

Knowing her name is enough, Ultima 

Foxtrotting, globe trotting under your fingertips 

Tapping for oil in vain 

Surely you won't think to hold that against me 

It's such an unusual name 

Someone is hoping to find 

Her limbs in an auction online 

Knowing her name is enough 

Ultima Esperanza, Ultima Esperanza
