[Verse 1]
6               1              4
Gold teeth and a curse for this town 
1              5              
Were all in my mouth
     1            4            6    5
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

[Chorus]
5                      1
And if you'd a took to me like
  4    1            5
A gull takes to the wind
            5           1
Well, I'd a jumped from my tree
    4     1               4           1
And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
4                   1             5
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well

[Verse 2]
New slang when you notice the stripes
The dirt in your fries
Hope it's right when you die
Old and bo..ny
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall
Never should'a called
But my heads to the wall
And I'm lonely

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
God speed all the baker's at dawn
May they all cut their thumbs
And bleed into their buns 
'Till they melt away

[Chorus 2]
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
