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 puttin' 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» |
