Dresden Dolls, The - Me & The Minibar Lyrics

my birthday tradition... for so long now... aways with teary eyes

This is something special

So I know this isn’t the storyline behind it but it’s one a wrote myself:

Twin 7 year old girls on their birthday in a hotel that their parents ran. Their parents are setting it up for their birthday and the little girls are helping.

Later, it cuts to them on their 12th birthday. One of the twins began self harming. The parents are crying and the other twin (the one singing the song) is standing in the doorway. The self-harming twin is rushed to the hospital and the other twin is left at home with her grandma, who is asleep in the rocking chair in the living room. While the Grandma is sleeping the girl runs to the hotel (which is just around the corner from the house). She is determined to celebrate her own birthday no matter what and she looks up at a picture behind the bar of her and her twin sister on their 7th birthday, with their arms around each other, smiling. Tears well up in her eyes.

It cuts to her 16th birthday near the end. Her parents have split up and her twin sister committed suicide on her 15th birthday. She gazes up at the dusty picture behind the bar and sings “happy birthday us...happy birthday us...”.

bring two prix fixe dinners up
i'll unwrap the plastic cups
it's just us my love
it's just us my love

i will make the room up nice
put your insides all on ice
it was real true love
it was real true love

close all the windows
put signs on the handles
and strip down to my dun-dun-duns
you have gone so far
you have gone so far

and tonight
its just me and the minibar

candles from the walmart that
every city's got to have
that i bought last night
that i bought last night

i was so excited to
do such normal things with you
when you felt last night
with your toothbrush dry

no such details will spoil my plans
that is the kind of girl i am
HA HA HA

can you hear room 318?
man they're really happening
they're a wild bunch
they're a wild bunch

but if they just knew
what my night was coming to
god would they vomit and run
you have gone so far
you have gone too far

so tonight
it's just me and the minibar
nobody else
and i sing at the top of my lungs
happy birthday us
happy birthday us...
