I mostly agree with iggy1110 on the lyrics corrections; however both my recording and the version when I heard them perform have slightly different lyrics from even that (out, not around; ARE wilting rather than AREN'T; plus parts of the song were in a different order...) Besides that...
There's actually a neat thread in the Shadowbox (the Dresden Dolls' official forum) where someone posted the lyrics, and they tried to discern what the actual lyrics were and started discussion the meaning. There was a neat idea that it's about the relationship between God and Jesus (cast in a very negative sense), which if you think about it makes sense. Here's the thread if anyone wants to look at it (I think you can read it without an account): http://www.theshadowbox.net/forum/index.php?topic=2448.0
