I'm not very familiar with the Dresden Dolls, but this is a heartwrenching version.

That's a KILLER alto, lady. Henson would be proud. I cried, it was so good.

I love this song. ... It's very "them" if you listen to their other songs. :)

It is better than some of the cover versions out there that I have seen. She sings it more simply, which is the way it was meant to be sung, but changing the lyrics was horrible. Not bad but not very good either.
