Garden State movie - New Slang lyrics

rate me

Song by The Shins<br /><br>

Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth. <br>

Only, I don't know how they got out, dear. <br>

Turn me back into the pet that I was when we met. <br>

I was happier then with no mind-set. <br>

<br>

And if you'd 'a took to me like <br>

A gull takes to the wind. <br>

Well, I'd 'a jumped from my tree <br>

And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores <br>

And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well. <br>

<br>

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries. <br>

Hope it's right when you die, old and bony. <br>

Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall, <br>

Never should have called <br>

But my head's to the wall and I'm lonely. <br>

<br>

And if you'd 'a took to me like <br>

A gull takes to the wind. <br>

Well, I'd 'a jumped from my tree <br>

And I'd a danced like the kind of the eyesores <br>

And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well. <br>

<br>

God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs, <br>

And bleed into their buns 'till they melt away. <br>

<br>

I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find. <br>

Without a trust or flaming fields am I too dumb to refine? <br>

And if you'd 'a took to me like <br>

Well I'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores <br>

And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.<br>

<br>
