"Toothache" lyrics
"Toothache"
You gotta feel your hunger
You gotta own your shame
If you don't heal your wounds, well
They'll keep you in place
You're drunk on a Sunday, your knuckles are bruised
You're letting the dream become the death of you
I know you're tough, but haven't you had enough
Of having so much to prove?
If you keep on howling like a dog with a toothache
If you keep on shouting in the quiet of night
If you keep on biting the hand that'll offer you a little bit of light
Don't be surprised if you wake up in a cold bed
Nobody sleeping on the other side
If you keep on howling, you'll probably be drowning until you die
If you keep on
If you keep on
You're not a lost cause
You're not hopeless art
You're not a monster
You're a wounded soldier with a bleeding heart
You're stuck in a moment and things you regret
Are coming out of your mouth and clouding up your head
You've tried everything to ease your troubled mind
But all you see is red
If you keep on howling like a dog with a toothache
If you keep on shouting in the quiet of night
If you keep on biting the hand that'll offer you a little bit of light
Don't be surprised if you wake up in a cold bed
Nobody sleeping on the other side
If you keep on howling
You'll probably be drowning until you die
If you keep on
If you keep on
Keep on howling
Keep on howling, howling
Keep on howling
Keep on howling, howling
If you keep on howling like a dog with a toothache
If you keep on shouting in the quiet of night
If you keep on biting the hand that'll offer you a little bit of light
Don't be surprised if you wake up in a cold bed
Nobody sleeping on the other side
If you keep on howling
You'll probably be drowning until you die
If you keep on

Jess Williamson - "Hunter" I've been thrown to the wolves and they ate me raw
Worked both sides at the Shangri-la
Thrown back a few more and I mopped up the floors

Gatherin' flowers, both fresh and gay
