the Dresden Dolls Boston Lyrics

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 our dreams

Seven stops in seven different countries
Seven page itineraries
Memories thick as b_____ Marys
Jesus, Joseph, b_____ 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 Juliette 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 lost 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 be mad
And maybe I'll be gray
Before we really understand, 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 we'll wake up
In a city far away
Or maybe we'll make up
And buy a house and have a dozen kids who'll run away, it doesn't matter 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 a__umption
But I know for a fact that I loved someone
And for about a year, he lived in Boston
In Boston
