Lyrics White Lies, Yellow Teeth - Modest Mouse

White Lies, Yellow Teeth

you went out for a walk
i’m sure you went a long ways
sorting things out in our heads
we’ll forget in a few days
in the place before you’re made
they give you all these options
like if you’ve got wings
or have you got feelings
or can you breathe under water?
he chose lifting 10 times his weight
and natural body armor
on the day his mother gave
he came out as an insect
people talk in soda pop
they talk it quite a lot
the opinions that i don’t give
are the opinions i don’t got
white lies fall off my yellow teeth,
i didn’t convince you but i believed
white lies fall off my yellow teeth,
i didn’t convince you but i believed
white lies fall off my yellow teeth,
i didn’t convince you but i believed
white lies fall off my yellow teeth,
i didn’t convince you but i believed
white lies fall off my yellow teeth,
i didn’t convince you but i believed
white lies fall off my yellow teeth,
i didn’t convince you but i believed
white lies fall off my yellow teeth,
i didn’t convince you but i believed
white lies fall off my yellow teeth,
i didn’t convince you but i believed
white lies fall off my yellow teeth,
i didn’t convince you but i believed
white lies fall off my yellow teeth,
i didn’t convince you but i believed
white lies fall off my yellow teeth,
i didn’t convince you but i believed
all so plain, it’s all a plan
it’s all so true of everyone
the sky does not ever end
the air just gets much thinner
i knew a man who talked on and on about
how he knew a man
who knew a man, who knew a man,
who knew him once
you just keep diggin' down and down
without even turning around
or by maybe hell you find you’re diggin' up again
some hippie told me free your pets
so i let them all go free
it didn’t take no time at all
for them to run on back to me white lies fall off my yellow teeth,
i didn’t convince you but i believed
white lies fall off my yellow teeth,
i didn’t convince you but i believed
white lies fall off my yellow teeth,
i didn’t convince you but i believed
