Christopher Lydon Lyrics by The Dresden Dolls

A is for Accident

2003

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
It took so long to get through to you
I never understood sorrow, and now I do
I finally got past your monitor
You broke my heart in two, Christopher
[Chorus]
Christopher, I was your listener, Christopher
I've never felt love like this before, Christopher
Christopher, now and forevermore, Christopher
I'll never stop saying Christopher, Christopher
[Verse 4]
Finally I knew what I had to do
I had to make the connection with you
I don't care if you're old and incontinent
I will be yours til the bitter end
[Verse 5]
So during a show about Joan of Arc
I got through and I 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
[Verse 6]
Drawn like a bull to a matador
I just see visions of Christopher
Shot down by arrows from waves above
Christopher Lydon renounced my love
[Chorus]
Christopher, I was your prisoner, Christopher
I hope you're happy now Christopher
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
