Lyrics Skinned Knees & Gapped Teeth - Dear and the Headlights

Skinned Knees & Gapped Teeth

Was it a broken arm or collar bone?
It depended on the week
And me with my black eyes stitched from head to feet
Uncomfortably happy
All skinned knees and gapped teeth
Remember summers with the speak-n-spell
Trying to make the robot cuss
If mother knew the words we used while she worked
She would be fuming
Cause that’s not how she raised me
And when you taped over a good half of the wedding tape
I bet you never thought Thundercats could ever make you cry
You sat in disbelief
As Lion-O made plans to slay the whole wedding party
They’re disco dancing to their death
Oh Ma, you just don’t know it yet
And all my hand-me-downs are stuck to me
From all the blood I couldn’t keep
Oh, such a likely scene
10 year old body face down on Rosall Street
My bike passed out on top of me
Remember how I swore I would
Pass you up in age
You just scoffed at me
Well I’m still gonna do it
Just haven’t quite figured out how yet
We cornered Teddy Ruxpin and smashed his story tape
And put Guns N’Roses in
And watched him sing along to Appetite for Destruction
Yeah, he knew every word
I’m dying in the hall laughing
Oh John, you gotta turn it off
And when you taped over a good half of the wedding tape
I know you never thought Thundercats would ever be the end
You sat in disbelief
As Lion-O made plans to slay the whole wedding party
Oh John, you gotta turn it off
