The Dresden Dolls
Ultima Esperanza
[Verse 1]
Downloading doves on your fancy computer
You're shooting for love in the dark
Hey Foks you've found her now go instant message
Her name is a pretty good start

[Verse 2]
Ultima sits in her bedroom in Texas and
Waits for her hamsters to touch
She lost her legs in a car crash three years ago
She doesn't get around much

[Chorus 1]
But she is hoping someday
Somebody will take her away

[Verse 3]
Now that you got her address you can send her
A matching attachment and face
Slick rhododendrons you make out of paper
With flowers that never lose shape

[Verse 4]
You have a video camera strapped to
Your forehead in case she is true
Smiling rewind as we die in slow motion
As if it's not happening to you
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't be afraid of the dark ages darling
You may have to wait but a letter is coming

[Chorus 2]
With mixes of Marilyn songs
And pictures she took at the prom
Knowing her name is enough...
Ultima...

[Verse 5]
Foks trotting globes rotting under your fingertips
Tapping for oil in veins
Surely you won't think to hold that against me
It's such an unusual name

[Chorus 3]
Someone is hoping to find
Her limbs in an auction online
Knowing her name is enough...
