"New Slang" lyrics

"New Slang"
(originally by The Shins)

(One, two, three, four)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Gold teeth and a curse for this town
Were all in my mouth
Only I don't know how they got out
Turn me back into the pet
I was when we met
I was happier then with no mindset

And if you took to me like
A gull takes to the wind
Well, I'd've jumped from my tree
And I'd've danced like the king of the eyesores
The rest of our lives would've 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

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

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Godspeed 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 flaming fields
Am I too hard to refine?

And if you took to me like
Well, I'd've danced like the queen of the eyesores
The rest of our lives would've fared well

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
