Am               C              F
Gold teeth and a curse for this town 
     C         G              
Were all in my mouth
     C            F
Only I don't know how
         Am   G              (court)
They got out, dear

Turn me back into the pet 
I was when we met
I was happier then           (court)
With no mind set

               G       C                         w/ d b a g  g e d c g
  And if you'd took to me like
    F      C            G                                      b c b
  A   gull takes to the wind
                 G           C                      d b a g  g e d c g
  Well, I'd have jumped from my trees
      F   C               F           C
  And I'd danced like the king of the eyesores
          F           C                G             g e
  And the rest of our lives would have 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

  Refrain  fin:

G C F  C  F C G  C  F C F    F  C  F C G  C  Am  G  C    c b

"C'est facile d'avoir l'air hot quand on joue n'importe quoi"

God speed all the bakers at dawn
May they all cut their thumbs
And bleed into their buns                        (court)
'Till 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 dumb to refine?
  And if you'd took to me like
  Well I'd have danced like the queen of the eyesores 
  And the rest of our lives would have fared well
