lyrics

The skin on my teeth, it's feeling mighty weak
It's not quite baleen and I think it's scalene
Do you know what I mean cause I can't stop eating
Plankton and hard candy and I'm bleeding

I'm in so much pain, give me some novacaine
or a spacebag of wine cause you know it'll do the same thing
from feral to tame, I'm sedated in my brain
and the sutures are contained for now

Well rip out all my chains and we'll feel the same
and swallow all my teeth and we'll see what's underneath
and I'll chew on your thumbs with what's left of my gums
and we can have a party in my mouth

Well, welcome to the slums that are my gums
and we'll enter the blender and I'll wear suspenders
and you can remember how we dismembered
my mouth for the sake of your fun

and a Frown is just a place that sits on your face
for me to put some silver and gold
and we can go around and cut off other frowns from other faces in other places and we can wear them all around

like christmas on a tinsel tree
or braces on a friend of thee
or an enema in your enemy
or butter on your bread
like oil on your engine-y
or children from your progeny

it's our own downtown, upside down frown, DIY Dentistry.
