The Shins - New Slang
------------------------------------------

Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth. 
only, i dont 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 youd a took to me like 
a gull takes to the wind. 
well, id a jumped from my tree 
and id 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 its right when you die, old and bony. 
dawn breaks like a bull through the hall, 
never should have called 
but my heads to the wall and im lonely. 
And if youd a took to me like 
a gull takes to the wind. 
well, id a jumped from my tree 
and id 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. 
Im 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 youd a took to me like 
well id a danced like the queen of the eyesores 
and the rest of our lives would a fared well.
