Tongues & Teeth Songtext

von The Crane Wives

...
I've grown a mouth so sharp and cruel
It's all that I can give to you my dear
And when you come in quick to steal a kiss
My teeth will only cut your lips my dear
I know that you mean so well
But I am not a vessel for your good intent
I will only break your pretty things
I will only ring you dry of everything
And if you're fine with that
You can be mine like that
...
Abandon all your stupid dreams about the girl I could've been my dear
Cause in the night I know you burn with feelings I can not return my dear
Oh my dear
You've gotta know that this won't last
Desperation will erase the fact I'm keeping all
Of the answers in my cigarette box
