Cheetah Tongue Lyrics
[Chorus]
I cut off my head and my cheetah tongue
I can't think straight and my mouth is numb
Don't shut your eyes till we fade to black
Cause maybe this time the good stuff could last
[Verse 1]
You won me over
My orange cola got black flamingos crying for ya
Well I'll see you later
I could be your faker
My hands shake like jellyfish when you're near
[Chorus]
I cut off my head and my cheetah tongue
I can't think straight and my mouth is numb
Don't shut your eyes till we fade to black
Cause maybe this time the good stuff could last
[Verse 2]
You're a hammer, sweet firecracker
Stumbling through Chinatown
Liar, liar, my house is on fire
Somewhere between Chinatown and here
[Chorus]
I cut off my head and my cheetah tongue
I can't think straight and my mouth is numb
Don't shut your eyes till we fade to black
Cause maybe this time the good stuff could last
[Verse 3]
Come a little closer, it's alright
I'll be your character with flaws tonight
Come a little closer, my firefly
You're not the only one who doesn't want to be alone tonight
[Chorus]
I cut off my head and my cheetah tongue
I can't think straight and my mouth is numb
Don't shut your eyes till we fade to black
Cause maybe this time the good stuff could last

How did the meaning of this song, or album, come about?

The story of girl meets boy, they have a break-up and s–t goes down. Just spurt out thoughts and things that are happening at the time and see what kind of puzzle they form by the end of th...
