The Shins - When You Notice The Stripes lyrics
Your rating:
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 took to me like A gull takes to the wind, Well I'd a' jumped From my trees and, I'd a' danced like the king of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would a' fare 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've called But my head's to the wall and I'm lonely. And if you took to me like A gull takes to the wind, Well I'd a' jumped From my trees and, I'd a' danced like the king of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would a' fare 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 took to me like a' I'd a' danced like the queen of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would a' fare well.
