Lyric New Slang

[Artist: The Shins
Song: 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.
