broken teeth

i'm trying to sleep

with broken teeth

now there's a hole where something used to be

i went downtown

cause i was uptight

i took one round and i

i was feeling alright

i was feeling alright

one more than seventy

two more than what i need

three fingers deeper than the bottom of the darkest sea

the things i need

so out of reach

there's nothing i believe in that you can teach

and how can i explain

this hole to everyone?

i'm so ashamed

just wish that i could run

away and hide

till they forget my name

this time

it's true

i'm really gonna change

this time

it's true

i'm really gonna change

i'm really gonna change

i let my tongue

just run and run

when i looked for my friends but they were gone

they were gone

the violence

was so complete

it left a gaping hole down on main street

they left me

with broken teeth

now i spit when i sing and whistle when i speak

and how can i explain

this hole to everyone?

i'm so ashamed

just wish that i could run

away and hide

till they forget my name

this time

it's true

i'm really gonna change

this time

it's true

i'm really gonna change

i'm really gonna change

here i go again

three sheets to the wind

loose lips sink ships

but i'm caught in a riptide

bad luck always wins by a landslide

set sail for the sun

it's gonna be a long night

i may not sleep

with these broken teeth

still got the sky above and the ground beneath

the things i need

so out of reach

there's nothing i believe in that you can teach

that you can teach

cause there's a hole where something used to be

and how can i explain

this hole to anyone?

i'm so ashamed

just wish that i could run

away and hide

till they forget my name

this time

it's true

i'm really gonna change

this time

it's true

i'm really gonna change

this time

it's true

i'm really gonna change

i'm really gonna change
