The Shins |
|
Oh, Inverted World |
|
New Slang |
|
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 that i was when we met. |
|
I was happier then with no mind-set. |
|
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. |
|
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 have called |
|
But my head's to the wall and i'm lonely. |
|
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 kind of the eyesores |
|
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well. |
|
God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs, |
|
And bleed into their buns 'till they melt away. |
|
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. |
