Shins - When You Notice The Stripes Lyrics
Gold teeth and a curse for this townWere all in my mouth,Only I don't know howThey got out, dear.Turn me back into the petI was when we met,I was happier thenWith no mind set.And if you took to me likeA gull takes to the wind,Well I'd a' jumpedFrom my trees and,I'd a' danced like the king of the eyesoresAnd the rest of our lives would a' fare well.New slang when you notice the stripesThe dirt in your friesHope it's right when you die,Old and bony.Dawn breaks like a bull through the hallNever should've calledBut my head's to the wall and I'm lonely.And if you took to me likeA gull takes to the wind,Well I'd a' jumpedFrom my trees and,I'd a' danced like the king of the eyesoresAnd the rest of our lives would a' fare 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 lifeI might be doomed never to findWithout a trust, or flaming fieldsAm I too dumb to refine?And if you took to me like a'I'd a' danced like the queen of the eyesoresAnd the rest of our lives would a' fare well.
