The Dresden Dolls Mrs. O. lyrics

Oh, Mrs. O, will you tell us where the naughty children go?
Will you show how the sky turned white and everybody froze?
Heaven knows how they got into the fireplace
But everybody's saying grace and trying to keep a happy face

And oh, Mrs. O, can you teach us how to keep from getting cold?
Out we go and you watch us as we face the falling snow
What a show with our hairdryers aimed heavenwards
And fifty foot extension cords, you really have a way with words

The truth won't save you now
The sky is falling down
Watch the vultures count the hours
April trains may bring strange showers

Oh, Mrs. O, will you tell about the time they made you go all alone
To the palace where they took your only clothes?
We all know there's no Hell and no Hiroshima

Chernobyl was a cover up, the world is really all in love

And oh, Mrs. O, will you leave us hanging now
That we are all grown up and old? Will you kill me if I say I told you so?
We all know there's no Hitler and no holocaust
No winter and no Santa Clause and yes Virginia, all because

The truth won't save you now
The sky is falling down
Eveything they ever told us
Shakes our faith and breaks their promise


But you can stop the truth from leaking
If you never stop believing
