[00:16.66]One, two, three, four
[00:18.13]
[00:27.98]You can tell
[00:28.78]From the scars on my arms
[00:29.99]And cracks in my hips
[00:31.43]And the dents in my car
[00:32.80]And the blisters on my lips
[00:34.09]That I'm not the carefullest of girls
[00:36.07]
[00:36.38]You can tell
[00:37.01]From the glass on the floor
[00:38.25]And the strings that're breaking
[00:39.60]And I keep on breaking more
[00:40.88]And it looks like I am shaking
[00:42.35]But it's just the temperature
[00:44.32]And then again
[00:45.00]
[00:45.18]If it were any colder I could disengage
[00:46.87]If I were any older I could act my age
[00:49.11]But I don't think that you'd believe me
[00:50.62]It's not the way I'm meant to be
[00:53.21]It's just the way the operation made me
[00:54.99]
[00:59.46]And you can call
[01:00.19]From the state of my room
[01:01.45]That they let me out too soon
[01:02.82]And the pills that I ate
[01:04.16]Came a couple years too late
[01:05.39]And I've got some issues to work through
[01:07.50]There I go again pretending to be you
[01:10.29]Make believeing
[01:11.03]That I have a soul beneath the surface
[01:12.64]Trying to convince you
[01:13.69]It was accidentally on purpose
[01:15.36]
[01:20.72]I am not so serious
[01:21.78]This passion is a plagiarism
[01:23.26]I might join your century
[01:24.54]But only a rare occasion
[01:25.98]I was taken out
[01:27.19]Before the labor pains set in and now
[01:28.62]Behold the world's worst accident
[01:30.00]I am the girl anachronism
[01:31.48]
[01:41.25]And you can tell
[01:41.92]By the red in my eyes
[01:43.18]And the bruises on my thighs
[01:44.66]And the knots in my hair
[01:45.90]And the bathtub full of flies
[01:47.39]That I'm not right now at all
[01:49.17]There I go again
[01:50.28]Pretending that I'll fall
[01:51.99]Don't call the doctors
[01:52.91]They've seen it all before
[01:54.75]They'll say just
[01:55.84]Let her crash and burn
[01:57.49]She'll learn
[01:58.34]The attention just encourages her
[01:59.94]
[02:04.41]And you can tell
[02:05.07]From the full-body cast
[02:06.35]That you're sorry that you asked
[02:07.80]Though you did everything you could
[02:08.93]Like any decent person would
[02:10.37]But I might be catching so don't touch
[02:12.27]You'll start believing you're immune to gravity and stuff
[02:14.98]Don't get me wet
[02:15.83]Because the bandages will all come off
[02:17.74]
[02:18.23]And you can tell
[02:18.60]From the smoke at the stake
[02:19.29]That the current state is critical
[02:21.22]Well it is the little things for instance
[02:24.14]In the time it takes to break it
[02:25.25]She can make up ten excuses
[02:26.42]Please excuse her for the day
[02:28.16]It's just the way medication makes her
[02:29.66]
[02:35.04]I don't necessarily belive there is a cure for this
[02:37.54]So I might join your century but only as doubtful guest
[02:40.26]I was too precarious removed as a caesarian
[02:42.90]Behold the world's worst accident
[02:44.28]I am the girl anarchronism
[02:45.66]I am the girl anarchronism
[02:47.03]I am the girl anarchronism
[02:48.29]I am the girl anarchronism
[02:49.55]I am the girl
[02:50.84]I am the girl
[02:52.17]I am the girl
[02:53.58]I am the girl anarchronism
