Song lyrics Shores of california by The Dresden Dolls

Heīs been trying with limited success
To get this girl to let him get into her dress
But every time he thinks heīs getting close
She threatens death before he gets a chance

And thatīs the way it is in Minnesota
And thatīs the way it is in Oklahoma
Thatīs the way itīs been since protozoa
First climbed onto the shores of California

And sheīs been trying with limited success
To get him to turn out the lights and dance
Cause like any girl all she really wants
That fickle little bitch romance
That fickle little bitch romance

And that is why a girl is called a tease
And that is why a guy is called a sleaze
And thatīs why god made escort agencies
One life to live and mace and GHB

And thatīs the way it is in Minnesota
And thatīs the way it is in Oklahoma
Thatīs the way since the animals and noah
First climbed onto the shores of California

Must not be too kind
Stop thinking love is blind
Clench your fists yeah write
"sheīs just not my type..."

Why all these conflicting specifications
Maybe to prevent overpopulation
All I know is that all around the nation
The girls are crying and the boys are masturbating

And thatīs the way it is in Minnesota
And thatīs the way it is in Oklahoma
Thatīs the way Aristophanes and homer
Wrote the Iliad and Lysistrata (not in that order...)

And thatīs the way it is in Minnesota
And thatīs the way it is in Oklahoma
Thatīs the way itīs been since protozoa
First climbed onto the shores of California
