Sharpen Your Teeth

Ugly Casanova Sharpen Your Teeth Lyrics
1.No Song

(Instrumental)


2.Cat Faces

My heart's stopped pumping but my blood is still alive.

The rain hits the ground and the trees they dry it up.
Swallows drop in and dash the sky

My eyes wake up but my brain is sleeping fine.
Tracing lines of cursive on the horizon.

One more thing for you and i to do before we shut our eyes
Cutting cat faces in the pines.

You blame me and I'll blame you, and we're both right.
Cutting cat faces in the pines.

Cutting cat faces in the pines.
Cutting cat faces in the pines. Mark the path

They say his teeth are wood and they want pictures of him.
Back to the point of departure

The rain hits the ground and the trees they dry it up.
Two by two and four by four the pines they lay it down,

We're wood screws, all of our lives.
And we're wood screws, all of our lives.

We're wood screws, all of our lives.
And we're wood screws, all of our lives.

The rain hits the ground and the trees they dry it up.
I lay down with the southern range.,.

My chain hits the wood and the wood it turns to dust.
Swallows drop in and dash the sky

I picture you as if you were a pine.
Tracing lines of cursive on the horizon.

My heart's stopped pumping but my blood is still alive.
My heart's stopped pumping but my blood is still alive.

We're wood screws, all of our lives.
Cutting cat faces in the pines.

We're wood screws, all of our lives
Mark the path back to the point of departure

Well my heart's stopped pumping but my blood is still alive.
Two by two and four by four the pines they lay me down

And i lay down with the southern range.
And i lay down with the southern range.

I lay down with the southern range.
I lay down with the southern range.

I lay down with the southern range.
I lay down with the southern range.

I lay down with the southern range.
I lay down with the southern range, with the southern range

I lay down with the southern range.
With the southern range i lay down with the southern range, down
with the southern range

I lay down with the southern range.
With the southern range i lay down with the southern range, down
with the southern range

I lay down with the southern range.
I lay down with the southern range, down with the southern range


3.Barnacles

I don't really need to see
So i don't need to see so i'll paint
I don't know, i'll paint it black
I don't need to see
I don't see how you see out of your window
I don't need to see, i'll paint mine black
I don't need to see
I don't see how you see out of your window
I don't need to see i'll paint mine black

I don't know me and you don't know you
So we fit so good together
'Cause i knew you like i knew myself
We clung on like barnacles on a boat
Even though the ship sinks you know you can't let go
I was talking like two hands knocking
Yelling 'let me in, let me in, please come out.'

Black glass, dirt-based soap,
Tell yourself what you know.
My friends, oh my friends,
Bury your head i'll help you bury your hands.
Hard hit, hard to miss, problems are what a problem is.

My light it came up quick, call it your asterisk,
Buried in a boys and boys first book of the stars
Saw it a satellite
Constant unblinking eyes
Buried in the bottom in the bottom of a brackish lake


4.Spilled Milk Factory

Tease your neck, kiss your spitless mouth
If you have another taste.
Carry my body, drive my rider home
If you take another bad bet.
Mumbled had a rumble and i stumbled down the stairs
Smellin just like lumber but my baby don't care
We went uptown, downtown, everywhere between
There was so much spilled milk we could've had a factory.
Silver poor house, plastic lungs, my bones,
If you take another look.
Gills of wine, slow on five,
I know when you're railing on another, baby.
Sweet basted teenagers lookin all around.
I see your babies crawlin all over the ground
They go 'goo-goo, gaa-gaa', what the hell's that mean.
Not even i know where i am, so don't go look for me.
Things go dark, light, dark, light, day after day.
The flies weren't invited but they wouldn't go away.
The blanks were filled out filled in but never complete
There were so many dreams that there was no time to sleep.
Not a point to make, dodged a bullet, dredged the lake,
I had one bite of wedding cake and i about threw up.
I see bridesmaids, bridesmaids hunting for a man
One more drink and i think i'll marry him.


5.Beesting

I don't know they say you never die,
Kiss me just like a bee sting.
I don't know they say you never die,
Kiss me just like a bee sting.
I don't know they say you never die,
Kiss me just like a bee sting.


6.Smoke Like Ribbons

Smoke was pulled like ribbons from the windows of the car.
I followed the flash of silver from your teeth.
Above the tarmac the lights were icy green.
Buried in patterns in your chest, a quiet shimmering.
Little dipper, tiara-shine, song bird shivery, thin thin dime.
Smoke like ribbons....
Songs were pulled in ribbons from the window of the car...
Lost along the shoulders of the highway.
The cake walk dancers unwind from their spin
Singing 'lawty lawty loved him'.
Stark don't give a flat fuck.


7.Parasites

The parasites are excited when you're dead
Eyes bulging, entering your head.
And all your thoughts, they rot.
God and satan they gamble when you're dead
Beams of light, one sprite, the other's bourbon instead
And all your thoughts, they rot.
It was hot and time was stickin to my skin.
We're all a punchline to a joke that they won't let us in on.
And all your thoughts, they rot.


8.Things I Don't Remember

Things I don't remember
How the hell'd we get here?
How the hell did we get here?
Things I don't remember
Dressed up alligators.
How'd the hell we get here?
Things I don't remember
There was dressed up alligator.
There was cum on the piano
Disco dancing neighbors
Who were born in mashed potatoes
Caught with our pants down
Hiding in the doghouse
Figured out what we're good for
You're the sailor and I'm the port
Things I don't remember
We undressed for the tailor.
Your skin was lightly salted
Opened up a can of loud mouth malted
High fives in your eyes
Pushed the gas and now I'm kissin' your thighs
Looking for a purpose
How'd the hell'd we get here?
There were things I don't remember
There was messed up alligator
There were endless conversations
No one's mouths were really moving
All them dumpsters overflowing
All my malevolent intentions
Things I don't remember
I figured out what I'm good for
Making anything look bitter
How the hell could I blame her?
Even then I was a sailor
There were jokes that never land
Every hand was tipped in subliminal sand
Things I don't remember
There was undressed for the tailor
There are jokes that couldn't land
There were disco dancing neighbors
They were born in mashed potatoes
There was no town, Motown.
There were things I don't remember
Dressed up alligator
How the hell'd we get here?
How the hell'd we get here?

10.Ice On The Sheets

Committin' crimes and we're running down the alley,
I am the captain, you're in the galley.
I'm with this girl she said that she was hungry.
We just got done swapping our IDs.

Ice on the sheets. Look at the floor,
As soon as I can walk I walk out the door and never stop.
Ice on the sheets I look at the floor,
As soon as I can walk I walk out the door and never stop.

I'm lookin' at an old photograph,
It looked like we took it at gunpoint so I had to laugh.

I look at the ice, I look at the floor, there's ice on the
sheets and I'm on the floor, I never stop.

A wholeness comes and you're feelin' a phenomenon,
I can't die I just keep going on...

God damn nothin' not water, got nothin' but a band now, bad
karma beside me.

Ice on the sheet a weeks worth of pay and all the mondays
(mundane?) you got to where you look at your shoes and you say,
hey, hey.

I'm out of breath, I'm out of wits,
I'm out of these every day of the week. Oh, yeah!

Committin' crimes and we're running down the alley,
I am the captain, you're in the galley.
I'm with this girl she said that she was hungry.
We just got done swapping our IDs.

Back in the day where everywhere was the sticks
They used to go to bars and they'd dance in lines and get sick.
(We used to go to barns and we'd dance in lines and make it
quick)

You dance you dance and then you'd dance some more,
You put on your disco shoes and dance until there's holes in the
floor.

Back in the days when they died their hair
They still wouldn't dance in the lack of the kids that cared.
Back in the days when they danced to death...
Back in the days when they banged their head...
They would dance and dance again all in a stare (trance),
A woman goes in a bar, she got drunk and we laughed.
(Dime store keets go, How've you been? uh haw, haw, haw)

The disco came and they did some coke.
They didn't have codeine and this fuckin' joke...

(You're gunna' laugh ah haw, and thats all you did, I didn't
know nothin', I did not understand)

Was their death, their fucked, they fought, they fucked, they
fought they fuckin' fought...

Red lips, a red lip stick, a red bra, and a cheap, cheap trick,
and that's me.

I brung (You can run) your kids to the house, to (in) the homes,
to the schools, to the bad places (in another place),
Yeah (Guess) how long?
(You don't know they are in my hell)
You don't care,
They aren't yours, they aren't saying,
I didn't know nothin', but time isn't cheap,
I gotta run now, I got a kid now, I got friends now. How
have you been? uh haw, haw, haw

(There i was. we were)

Committin' crimes and we're running down the alley,
I am the captain, you're in the galley.
I'm with this girl she said that she was hungry.
We just got done swapping our IDs.

I got a dodge doll, it looks like a smoothie,
Well I'm real fuckin' lucky I can make it _____ ,
With this cocky confidential conflict dancer.
Hell, we have our sex before we go dancing.
See that lady in the red shirt bra,
she thinks she's made out of bricks and she's just made out of
straw,
but you can huff, and puff, and blow her down,
I didn't make it here so i'll move to another town now.


11.Pacifico

They said they'd give me everything,
Here's the part that made me laugh.
They didn't give me anything
And then they took half of that.
Sharpen your teeth or lay flat!
You said you'd play clean, oh what a load of crap,
By the time that you were through with me
I had to take a bath
Sharpen your teeth or lay flat!
They said that it'd go good for me,
Rain diamonds and all that.
I stood out in the downpour
Getting hit by broken glass.
Sharpen your teeth or lay flat.


12.Hotcha Girls

Smells like autumn, smells like leaves
You don't know that you'll rust and not belong so much
And then get left alone
Suck it up, take a ride and take a walk
And don't you know that old folks' homes smell so much like my
own.
The hotcha girls at the palisades
Dime store keets, pretty birds, pretty mouths.
Mama's little truck stop rose, her dancy feet her happy laugh.
We were dropping dimes on the ponies in the cul-de-sac,
Casting shadows throwing sparks.
We left our teeth marks on the barrel of the gun,
The clipper ship across your chest.
Turns out the pony only had one trick, a wink for the truck stop
boys.
They learned it all from polaroids.
Smells like autumn smells like leaves,
You don't know that you'll rust and not belong so much
And then get left alone.
Suck it up, take a ride and take a walk
And don't you know that old folks' homes smell so much like my
own.
Time bends light, paint's all peelin', wait outside, take four
rights.
The hotcha girls at the palisades
Dime store keets, pretty birds, pretty mouths.
Glass eyes and the wooden teeth,
The engine's rusting in deep deep sleep, it waits.
The mail came from miles away, the postal man was always late,
And we wait.
Tight lipped with a big ol' mouth,
The government workers all headed south while it rained.
Glassy eyes and the wooden teeth, the engine rusted in deep deep
sleep
It waits, and it waits, and it waits, to awake.


13.Diamonds On The Face Of Evil

She forgot to lay the eggs
Penny didn't have no whistle
Diamonds in the horses stable
The dancers didn't have their feet
On the families in the graveyard.
Diggin diamonds on the face of evil.
