- "Vic Chesnutt says this song is girly. He's wrong."

- "This is about turning white trash."

"Teeth"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

I could get a piece of meat
From a barren tree
Nothing ever spoiled on me
You brought this
You dipshit
Nothing ever spoiled on me
That cloud stomps around my house
Does whatever it pleases
It teases me
What the hell?
Never was a baritone
'Til you stepped in
Never dried my halters on the line
This hairdo's truly evil
I'm not sure it's mine
You're so tall
It's like I climb a waterfall
That cloud stomps around my house
Does whatever it pleases
It teases me
What I said was "get me a drink"
Alright?
What am I, supposed to sit 
And look at you all night?
All girls cry
Like I said, I don't know why
That cloud stomps around my house
Does whatever it pleases
It teases me
What the hell?
Never was a baritone
'Til you stepped in
Never dried my halters on the line
This hairdo's truly evil
I'm not sure it's mine
You're so tall
It's like I climb a waterfall

Fireworks for you in the ozone snow.
