Crooked Teeth lyrics

It was 100 degrees as we sat beneath a willow tree

whose tears didn't care, they just hung in the air

and refused to fall, to fall.

I knew, I'd made a horrible call.

And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall,

and there was no doubt about which side I was on.

Because I built you a home in my heart

with rotten wood that decayed from the start.

'Cuz you can't find nothing at all,

if there was nothing there all along.

No, you can't find nothing at all,

if there was nothing there all along.

I braved treacherous streets

and kids strung out on homemade speed.

And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep

At all, woo hoo, woo hoo oo oo hoo...

At night, the sun in retreat

made the skyline look like crooked teeth

in the mouth of a man who was devouring us both.

You're so cute when you're slurring your speech

but they're closing the bar and they want us to leave.

'Cuz you can't find nothing at all,

if there was nothing there all along.

No, you can't find nothing at all,

if there was nothing there all along.

I'm a war of head versus heart

and it's always this way.

My head is weak, my heart always speaks

before I know what it will say.

'Cuz you can't find nothing at all,

if there was nothing there all along.

No, you can't find nothing at all,

if there was nothing there all along.

There were churches, theme parks and malls...

There was nothing there all along.
