Dresden Dolls - Mandy goes to med school

I DO NOT OWN THIS SONG. Lyrics:

Ive been feeling dull as a coat hanger pretty as a picture of a patient on a fresh iv
giddy as a gangbanger with a set of sutures where his magic johnson ought to be

yes i'll tell you just the thing you need to be the next big thing
lets start in with a test of your intelligence and zest for the counter productive
up and down and roundabout and out the back and keep your mouth shut
tight the lights are staying out but no sweat Ive got aim like a mack truck
guess how many fingers ok guess how many more i can fit there
guess right get the toaster but you know, miss, guessing gets you nowhere

Ive been baking cakes for the enemy
Ive been dying to find out the hard way
Ive been taking friends to the alleyway
two down now but whos counting anyway?

yes i can do everything you need from out of my new SUV
my work is guaranteed to last the length of your recovery
put away those pliers honey trust me cause i know the options
how about a nine-month long vacation and a two-foot coffin

Ive been getting up close and intimate
some close calls but oh im getting into it
in some states they say you can burn for it
but ill burn that bridge when I get to it

it's not a bad thing
to get professional
its got a nice ring
mandy goes to med school

Ive been taking tips from the government
Ive been getting damn good at hiding it
fifteen bucks a month ought to cover it
two down now but whos gonna notice it?

if you show up and i am unavailable
my partner Brian would love to take care of you

he is a nice man
fairly reliable
he's in a rock band
and he goes to med school
and he goes to med school
he goes to med school

I love to imagine how the brainstorming session for this song went.

"Hey, what if we were back-alley abortionists?"

"OK!"

[CopycatStudios]

@Lyco499499 LOL, I bet that's how most Dresden Dolls lyric writing sessions go.

"How about getting an abortion after being raped, and then getting an autographed letter from Oasis?"

"Fuck yeah!"

3:29 Is it possible for her to be more gorgeous?

[MyCommentsRMaturelol]

@xXxZiexXx This is a bit late, and I'm no whiz with musical theory, but I think the thirty second bar ended right before :20. Her voice starts trailing on the thirty third. I could certainly be wrong, but that's what I got after spending a couple minutes counting it out. I'm a dancer, not a singer :/

Can someone who doesn't suck at the technical aspects of music help me? I want to do this song for an audition, but I can't for the life of me figure out exactly what 32 bars of this song would be. Can someone give me a lyrical point that would be 32 bars in?

@CopycatStudios Amanda Palmer really was raped and did get an abortion. They were two separate events, but real events in her life nonetheless. Oasis was her trying to make light of these terrible events. Just sayin'.
