"Chipping Teeth"
(written by Kristin Hersh)
You're right, it's beastly
It's a beast
With citywide
halitosis
Don't deny you wrote this
Choked up and choking
You smell the chlorine?
Oh no
Save your soul
Choked up and choking
You smell the chlorine?
Oh no
Save your soul for me
Raw and boyish
You float down, joyless
To LA, then back to the rain
Poor
freak
Chipping teeth
Breathe in
'Cause breathin' is what you do
You're rawer than you were
You punctured your cocoon
Breathe
in
'Cause breathin' is what you do
Submerged roads meet on high ground
Submerged roads meet on a plateau
Breathe in
'Cause breathin' is what you
do
Your sleeping bag sprung a leak
And nobody cares but me
Don't forget the happy ending
Don't forget you don't go down
No, you don't
go down
Don't forget the happy ending
Don't forget you don't go down
No, you don't go down
Not yet
