about

From the "Under the Covers" EP. The Dresden Dolls are an eclectic duo hailing from Boston, Mass. Amanda Palmer is my shero. She recently released a great ukulele cover album of Radiohead songs. But we're not here to discuss that.

This song is just absolutely incredible and I am so grateful that it gives me a reason to wake up early on Thursdays.

lyrics

First Orgasm

It is a Thursday
I get up early
It is a challenge
I'm usually lazy

I make some coffee
I eat some rice chex
And then I sit down
To check my inbox

I only read a word or two
I stare across the street and see
The faces and the blue

The first orgasm of the morning
Is cold and hard as hell.
There won't be any second coming,
As far as I can tell.

Well, I arch my back 'cause
I'm very close now,
It's very cold here
By the window.

There are some school kids
Yelling, and running,
I barely notice
That I am coming. And

The first orgasm of the morning
Is like a fire drill:
It's nice to get a little warning,
But not enjoyable.

I am too busy to have friends.
A lover would just complicate my plans.
So I will never look for love again:
I'm taking matters into my own hands.
I'm taking matters into my own hands,
(I'm taking matters into my own hands.)

Well:

I think I could last at least a week
Without someone to hold me
I think I could last at least a week
Without someone to hold me
Won't you hold me?
Won't you hold me?

-Amanda Palmer
