Iron And Wine "White Tooth Man" |
Said the plain clothes cop to the beauty queen �I've seen nothing but a spoke in a wheel� So she gave up her crown to a kid with a crutch And they both felt cheated after closing the deal And the white tooth man, I ran with him Got all cut up from pissing out in the weeds And a fight upstate with a broken blade And a wife whose finger never wanted a ring Said the plain clothes cop to the Indian chief �I've made nothing but an honest mistake� The postman cried while reading the mail And we all got trampled in the Christmas parade And the white tooth man who sold me a gun A map of Canaan and a government bond Said, �I love this town, but it ain't the same� The ski mask ripped as he was putting it on Said the plain clothes cop to the holy ghost �I've heard nothing if it wasn't the wind� And we all got sick on a strip club meal While the statehouse was frying all the witches again So the white tooth man with his kids in the car And a wad of money that was already spent Said, �I love my dog but she just ran away She'll keep running like the world never ends� Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
