The Dresden Dolls — Christopher Lydon lyrics

Lyrics

Clutching the phone till my hands were sore
I never understood pain before, Christopher
you cannot know what it does to me hearing you speak with this frequency
I never knew what one voice could do I was in heaven the moment I heard you
my friends go out drinking and having fun —
I stay in bed with my headphones on Shot down with arrows from waves above
Christopher Lydon renounced my love
It took so long to get through to you
I never understood sorrow, and now I do
I finally got past your moniter,
you broke my heart in two, Chrisopher
Christopher, I was your listener, Christopher,
I’ve never felt love like this before, Christopher,
Christopher, now and forevermore, Chrisopher
I’ll never stop saying Christopher, Christopher
Finally I knew what I had to do
I had to make the connection with you
I dont care if your old and incontinent
I will be yours til the bitter end…
So during a show about Joan of Arc
I got through and said:
«Christopher Lydon, you’ve stolen my heart»
when I asked if you felt the same way for me you cut me off like a guillotine
Drawn like a bull to a matador-
I just see visions of Chrisopher
shot down by arrows from waves above
Christopher Lydon renounced my love
Christopher, I was your prisoner, Christopher,
I hope you’re happy now, Chistopher
Thank you for everything, but I’m not listening anymore nor do I plan to contribute to NPR
Christopher, beautiful, Christopher,
I’m the girl you’ve been waiting for
