New Slang When You Notice The Stripes 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 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 of called

but my heads 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 king 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 the 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 too 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
