[Intro] 6 1 4 1 5 1 6 5 x4 1 [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
