BABY TEETH

Baby it's empty in here
Don’t you know anybody could find you in here?
You know, maybe

Maybe that's the reason i came
Wanted to be discovered
By you all over again
Throw my ball over the fence

The doors will be closing soon
They're gonna lock it up
And suddenly, suddenly you

You won’t be able to breathe or to scream or to cry
Your brain will tell you that it's always worth a try
But you'll know better

So tell me, why do you lie?
Are you embarrassed?
Are you ashamed to admit that you like

That you like such a funny flavor
You savor this candy as your tongue bleeds
You get down on your hands and your knees
To pick up all your baby teeth

Put them in your pocket
And next time spit them out
Into an old pair of socks
And tie them up in a knot

Keep them somewhere safe
Somewhere tucked away
Keep them somewhere safe
Somewhere tucked away

Plant them under your pillow
And watch the garden grow
Faster than you know
Little white memories

Beget greener grass and greener pastures
The other side of the gate
Seems to grow faster

So look at me here i am
My gums are bleeding and my t-shirt is fucking soaked
I got a visit from the tooth fairy the first time
And it left such a great impression on me
I just couldn't stop myself from tying

A string around everything
That was remaining in my mouth
And then yanking it out

So won't you come back to my
House when the lights are all out
To where i sleep and please accept my offering
Lift up my head and leave me

Dollars underneath
Lift up my head and leave me
Dollars underneath
And pretty soon i'll have a grown-up set of teeth
For sinking deeper into meat and listerine

A grown-up set of
Pretty soon i'll have
A grown-up set of teeth
And those will be mine to keep

You won't come collect those from me
You won’t come around collecting those from me
