Lyrics

[00:39.44] Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.
[00:46.21] Only, i don't know how they got out, dear.
[00:51.37] Turn me back into the pet that i was when we met.
[00:58.42] I was happier then with no mind-set.
[01:05.04] And if you'd 'a took to me like
[01:08.89] A gull takes to the wind.
[01:11.21]
[01:11.81] Well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree
[01:16.23] And i'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
[01:25.83] And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.
[01:30.52] New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
[01:33.13] Hope it's right when you die, old and bony.
[01:37.70] Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
[01:42.16] Never should have called
[01:44.54] But my head's to the wall and i'm lonely.
[01:50.92] A gull takes to the wind.
[01:55.57] Well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree
[01:58.70] And i'd a danced like the kind of the eyesores
[02:06.58] And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.
[02:29.77] God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs,
[02:36.47] And bleed into their buns 'till they melt away.
[02:42.60] I'm looking in on the good life i might be doomed never to find.
[02:50.10] Without a trust or flaming fields am i too dumb to refine?
[02:57.60] And if you'd 'a took to me like
[03:02.22] Well i'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores
[03:05.57] And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.
[03:11.50]
