[Lyric] New Slang (The Shins)

[Intro]
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

[Verse 1]
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 mindset

[Chorus]
And if you took to me like
A gull takes to the wind
Well, I'd've jumped from my trees
And I'd've danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would've fared well
[Verse 2]
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

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Godspeed all the bakers at dawn
May they all cut their thumbs
And bleed into their buns
'Til they melt away

[Verse 4]
I'm looking in on the good life
I might be doomed never to find
Without a trust, a flaming field
Am I too dumb to refine?
[Chorus]
And if you took to me like
Well, I'd've danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would've fared well

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
