Gold teeth and the curse of this town
Are all in my mouth
Only I don't know how
They got out, dear
Turn me back into the pet
I was when we met
I was happier then
With no mindset
And if you took to me like
A gull takes to the wind
Well I'd have jumped from high trees
And I'd have danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would have fared well
New swing when you notice the stripes
Of dirt in your fries
Hope it's right when you die
Old and bony
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall
I should have called
But my head's to the wall
And I'm lonely
And if you took to me like
A gull takes to the wind
Well I'd have jumped from high trees
And I'd have danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would have fared well
ย
Godspeed all the bakers at dawn
May they all cut their thumbs
And bleed into their buns
Til they melt away
'Cause I'm looking in on the good life
I might be too never to find
Without a trust of flaming fields
Am I too down to refine?
And if you took to me like
Well I'd have danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would have fared well
