White Lies Yellow Teeth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
you went out for a walk
i'm sure you went a long ways
sorting things out in our heads
we'll forget in a few days
in the place before you're made
they give you all these options
like if you've got wings
or have you got feelings
or can you breathe under water?
he chose lifting 10 times his weight
and natural body armor
and then on the day his mother gave
he came out as an insect
people talk in soda pop
they talk it quite a lot
the opinions that i dont give
are the opinions i dont got
white lies fall off my yellow teeth,
i didnt convince you but i believed
white lies fall off my yellow teeth,
i didnt convince you but i believed
white lies fall off my yellow teeth,
i didnt convince you but i believed
all so plain its all a plan
its all so true of everyone
the sky does not ever end
the air just gets much thinner
i knew a man who went on and on
about how he knew a man who knew a man
who knew a man who knew him once
you can keep diggin down and down inside
and even turn around or find in hell
you're diggin up again
some hippie told me free your pets
so i let them all go free
it didn't take no time at all
for them to run on back to me.
