Shins - New Slang Lyrics
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 likeA gull takes to the wind.Well, i'd 'a jumped from my treeAnd i'd a danced like the king of the eyesoresAnd 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 calledBut my head's to the wall and i'm lonely.And if you'd 'a took to me likeA gull takes to the wind.Well, i'd 'a jumped from my treeAnd i'd a danced like the kind of the eyesoresAnd 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 likeWell i'd a danced like the queen of the eyesoresAnd the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.
