"New Slang" lyrics

"New Slang"
(originally by The Shins)

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

But if you'd took to me like a gull, a gull takes to the wind
Well, I'd jumped from my tree and I'd danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared 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 have called
But my head's to the wall and I'm lonely

But if you'd took to me like a gull, a gull takes to the wind
Well, I'd jumped from my tree and I'd danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well

And God speed all the bakers at dawn
May they all cut their thumbs
And bleed into their buns 'til they melt away

I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find
Without a trust or a flaming fields am I too dumb to refine?

But if you'd took to me I'd 'a danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well
