The Shins — New Slang

[Intro] Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh [Verse 1] 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 mindset [Chorus] And if you took to me like A gull takes to the wind Well, I'd've jumped from my trees And I'd've danced like the king of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would've 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 bony Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall Never should have called But my head's to the wall And I'm lonely [Chorus] And if you took to me like A gull takes to the wind Well, I'd've jumped from my trees And I'd've danced like the king of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would've fared well [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Godspeed all the bakers at dawn May they all cut their thumbs And bleed into their buns 'Til they melt away [Verse 4] I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find Without a trust, a flaming field Am I too dumb to refine? [Chorus] And if you took to me like Well, I'd've danced like the queen of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would've fared well [Guitar Solo] [Outro] Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
