I felt things in the terrible larder
I blushed I bruised I was a self starter
I got dinner it cost me my last
I went to town I set the task
I borrowed fifty alarms in the springtime
Baking self doubt into bedroom -(first) white - line
Waking up guys named Tommy, Dick and Harry
Setting soon to double, I'm not ready to marry
Reckless abandon abandoned-me-willing (that)
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the wise man , making a killing
Running still horseless , jumping from a building
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the tooth and the gap
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the tooth and the gap
Sentimentality settled me straight
I'd live a life-wistful, reject of hate
But still a bit bitter, a child twenty-two
The world can be heartless, don't let it be you
Still I wake smiling blood in my eyes
Pooling in footsteps right near my thighs
Glowing and heaving believing in passion
But I don't know love I know loves first reaction!
The angels are smiling beheading eachother
And my boss is still toothless, that godfather-mother
Bullseye! a comet! a corn and a sty!
Bullet-sin-brother comes clear thru the sky
Still I wake endless, in joy and terrors fear
Dripping like sin and sweating out beer
Can't tell what is consequence or just pure commotion
I sense a comment, you start the motion
Grateful to sip water in the Sunday dry rain
I'll carry yer guitar and I'll sing bout your pain
But I won't be kid and I won't be dust
I am the spoon not yet soon to rust!
Brother of mine, what creeds worth instilling?
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the wise man making a killing
Running still horseless jumping from a building
Brother of mine, what creeds worth instilling?
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the wise man making a killing
Running still horseless jumping from a building
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the tooth and the gap
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the tooth and the gap
Brother of mine, what creeds worth instilling?
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the wise man making a killing
Running still horseless jumping from a building
Brother of mine, what creeds worth instilling?
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the wise man making a killing
Running still horseless jumping from a building!
I was the tooth and the gap and the filling
I was the tooth and the gap and the filling
I was the tooth and the gap and the filling
I was the tooth and the gap
I was the tooth, the gap and the filling
I was the tooth and the gap and the filling
I was the tooth and the gap and the filling
I was the tooth and the gap
I was the tooth and the gap and the filling
I was the tooth and the gap and the filling
I was the tooth and the gap and the filling
I was the tooth and the gap
I was the tooth and the gap and the filling
I was the tooth and the gap and the filling
I was the tooth and the gap and the filling
I was the tooth and the gap

If you go, then I go
Won't you call me in the morning?
Then I'll know
That we're both still cracking on
But you made me laugh this evening
Halved my heart, was barely breathing
God, you're so funny when you're morbid
And you're so funny when you're light
If this is the easiest thing that I ever say
Push you at the table, to keep yer head on straight
I know yer hungry, but I'll wait until yer ready and I'm able
Oh momma, I'm sorry that I put myself so far away
It's sorta funny though, cuz we're both so hungry
In such different ways
Laughing into oblivion
It's a circus when we lie
I'm terribly lucky to have someone
Like you in my life
Oh momma, I'm sorry
That I put myself so far away
It's sorta funny though
I know in my heart, that yer always hoping that I stay
Oh momma, to take myself away from you...
it's sorta funny though,
You know sometimes I wanna stay too?
If you go, then I go
Won't you call me in the morning?
Then I'll know
We're both still cracking on
If you go, then I go
Won't you call me in the morning?
Then I'll know
We're both still cracking on
