Oooh don't it make you wanna run for cover
The cafe' bars won't close up for the night
Oooh you know I'm breaking out all over
A pasta here and I passed her there
And ooh she looked a fright
All those scary little creatures of the night
Come on out and tell me it's all right
Chorus ~
And then you smiled
Every tooth a tombstone
And when you smiled
Every tooth a tombstone
Oooh you know I'm keepin' out of reach
Another two-door Falcon passed me by
Oooh they don't even got a beach
Don't need a little mountain baby
Ooh I gotta fly
We'll go dancin' on the cosmic surfer's grave
One foot in a wetsuit
One foot on a wave
All those scary little creatures of the night
Come on out and tell me it's all right
Chorus
South of the river everything is alright
We're just sharp as a razor
We're just high as a kite
So young and golden
Don't it make you shiver
Beautiful forever boys
South of the river
Down south
Chorus
Smiled
Every tooth a tombstone
smiled
Every tooth a tombstone
Every tooth a tombstone
Every tooth a tombstone
( fade )
