TWO FRONT TEETH

I used to have dreams about it,
I'd wake in a pool of sweat,
then I'd go right
back to bed.
They drilled and then nubified 'em,
cemented in porcelain fakes,
then I left with a normal face.
"It coulda been worse" they said,
coulda hit my head,
"you're better off a bore than being braindead"
You won't be seeing me out in the pit no more,
I lost my two front teeth one night on the dance floor.
We were throwing down
in a puddle of wine when I hit the ground!
I wiggle my tongue around,
then one by one by one I spit 'em out!
I used to have dreams about it!
But the moment they all came true,
they all just went away.
Yeah I'm a new man, baby!
New teeth and everything.
It's sinking to the bottom of the ocean
or splitting atoms.
Either way, man,
there's no such thing as slow motion,
shit just happens.
shit just happens.
SHIT HAPPENS!
"It coulda been worse" they said,
coulda hit my head,
"you're better off a bore than being braindead"
That's what they said to me.
So, you won't be seeing me out in the pit no more,
I lost my two front teeth one night on the dance floor!
Yeah I used to have dreams about it!
There's no such thing as slow motion.
There's no such thing as show motion,
shit just HAPPENS.

21st CENTURY PITFALL

All of my heroes combust in the sunlight,
they all just burst into flames.
They leave a nuclear mark on the sidewalk,
only their shadow remains.
I've seen the light only once,
you need it over and over.
I used to shoot for the stars,
but the bar gets lower and lower every day.
Just thirty seconds alone in the microwave,
and I've been away for a year!
I'm turning ordinary things into time machines,
there's nothing left for me here.
And it's a 21st CENTURY PITFALL,
throwing all your eggs into rabbit holes.
I know,
it's only human nature to sell your soul.
All of my heroes combust in the sunlight,
and every muggle is safe.
The more I struggle, the more I become
exactly the same as everyone.
Just thirty seconds alone in the microwave,
you're gonna see what I mean babe,
shit,
I'm turning ordinary things into time machines,
but still have nowhere to be.
Yeah it's a 21st CENTURY PITFALL,
throwing all your eggs into rabbit holes.
I know,
it's only human nature to sell your soul!
There must be more to life than the little things.
