Night Reconnaissance

The Dresden Dolls

Nothing is crueler than children who come from good homes
Gotta forgive them, I guess, but whose side are you on?
Driving around my hometown, I remember it all
Dropping my lunch box and Tampax all over the hall
And they said

You are a socialist coke head, we know from your clothes
You are a Satanist worshiper, oh, that's evil
You think you're poet, a folksinger, your a poser
A volleyball player? you've got to be kidding us all

[Chorus]
So we hide from the cunts
On a night reconnaissance
Steal flamingos and gnomes
From the dark side of the lawn

No one can stop us
The script is a work of genius
No one has bought the rights yet but
We're not giving up
Every unwanted lawn jockey fits in the script
Directed by Spielberg and starring the masochist club

Marion looked like hell
Stuck in that ridicules shell
Give us some light and god's pure love
We know what you've been dreaming of
Give us some light and god's pure love
We know what you've been dreaming of
Give us some light and god's pure love
We know what you've been dreaming of
We're taking you to Hollywood
Hollywood

[Chorus]

One is a socialist cock-head they dressed in my clothes
One is a Satanist worshiping who's evil
One is a poet who starts up a band of his own
One is a volleyball player with both of her wrists broke

[Chorus]

And we give them good homes
Give them love they've never known
In the loft, in the lawn,
In the town where I was born
In the loft, in the bar,
In the town where I was born
