| | Truce Lyrics Artist(Band):The Dresden Dolls
You can have Washington, I’ll take New Jersey You can have London but I want New York City I should get Providence – I’ve got a job now Los Angeles – obvious – that's where you belong now You can have Africa, Asia, Australia, As long as you keep your hands off Cafe Pamplona We can split Germany right down the middle You'd hate it there anyway Take Berlin and we’ll call it even You can take all of the carry-on baggage I'll trade the saskia jokes for the alphabet language And special occasions we'll split between parents Who forced us to hate them on alternating weekends You call it over and I call you psycho Significant other? Just say we were lovers and we'll call it even We'll call it even I am the ground zero ex-friend you ordered Disguised as a hero to get passed your borders I know when I’m wanted, I’ll leave when you ask me to Mind my own business and speak when I’m spoken to I am the tower around which you orbited I am not proud, I am just taking orders I fall to the ground within hours of impact I hit back when hit And attack when attacked You get Route 2 between Concord and Lexington I want Mass Ave from the square to my apartment And if we should meet through some misunderstanding I’ll be very sweet, very patient, and forgiving (Now get off my side of the state) And if we should see one another in passing Despite these techniques, there is sometimes no avoiding (There must be some kind of mistake) We'll raise high the white flags and bow heads and shake hands Declaring the land we're on un-American We'll call it even We’ll call it even I am the tower around which you orbited I am not proud I am just taking orders I fall to the ground within hours of impact I hit back when hit And attack when attacked And I am an accident waiting to happen I'm laughing like mad while you strangle the captain My place may be taken but make no mistake From a little black box I can say without shame That you've lost, that you’ve lost Do you know what you've lost? So take whatever you'd like I'll strike like the States on fire You won't sleep very tight No hiding No safe cover Make your bed and now lie Just like you always do You can fake it for the papers but I’m on to you, I’m on to you So take whatever you'd like I'll strike like the States on fire You won't sleep very tight No hiding No safe covers Make your bed and now lie Just like you always do You can fake it for the papers but I’m on to you.... I’m on to you, I’M ON TO YOU, I’M ON TO YOU! Amanda, You're telling me a fairy tale.. If you find some error in Truce Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You.

How some people return things they gave to each other after an ending relationship the parts of the world could symbolize CDs or dining plates. To the part of "split between parents" at a certain time in most relationships when they get serious the parents are met and not all women hate their step mother's. Like everyone else I was a divorce kid but I didn't immediately see that in this song. I think too much-scratch that, not enough | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/2/09 Doesn't it sound like the "Amanda, You're telling me a fairy tale" bit at the end is from an old video or something? Like of someone saying that to her when she was young. That's what I always thought. Hmm... | Reviewer: Blah | 12/31/08 Interesting song. Although, speaking as a divorce kid (I smell a new phrase in the mix!), I didn't really feel like it was emotional in the "parents splitting up" sort of sense...in fact, I would have never guessed that her parents had been divorced if I didn't already know it. Then again, I've always looked at my parents divorce as a positive thing...sure, at the time, it was devastating, but seeing all the destruction they had caused to me, my brother, and their selves while they were together makes me rather happy that they split. I love the Dresden Dolls. I love how each song has a mix of both innocence and chaos, and this song is a perfect example of that. I relate more that I'd like to | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/30/08 That's why I love this song and half jack. My parents divorced when I was five... and lately my father has become quite cruel. I want to tear the Je- Jack part out of me... But yeah... amazing song. Astonishing... Amazing and Yes | Reviewer: Amanda | 2/16/08 In response to LieutenantLauren im not really sure but i do know that her parents got a divorce when she was young, and she didn't really like her dad after that. The song half jack is written about her father. besttt.... | Reviewer: LieutenantLauren | 9/15/07 best break-up song ever written in my opinion. Listening to this song is like going through an emotional rollercoaster. It covers every emotion. I really like this line: "And special occasions we'll split between parents Who forced us to hate them on alternating weekends" As a divorce kid, this really hit home. I was 7 years old and it was such a confusing time, and I was so upset. Then as I grew older, I couldn't stand them, but instead of facing it like most teens, I would just run away to Dad's house. I think that this emotion is something only a divorce kid could understand. The hatred and sadness, and bouncing around all the time from house to house. Does anyone know if Amanda went through a divorce in her life?
