Verse 1:
Gold teeth and a curse for this town
Were 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 mind set
Chorus:
And if you'd a took to me like
A gull takes to the wind
Well, I'd a jumped from my tree
And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well
Verse 2:
New slang when you notice the stripes
The dirt in your fries
Hope it's right when you die
Old and bony
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall
Never should'a called
But my heads to the wall
And I'm lonely
Chorus
Verse 3:
God speed all the baker's at dawn
May they all cut their thumbs
And bleed into their buns
'Till they melt away
Chorus 2:
I'm looking in on the good life
I might be doomed never to find
Without a trust or flaming fields
Am I too dumb to refine?
And if you'd a took to me like
Well I'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well
