A Kick in the Teeth Lyrics by Anthony D’Amato

Cold Snap

2016

[Verse 1]
When the night's begun well before the sun has set
And the rain is gone, but the river's yet to crest
When the shakin's stopped, only aftershocks remain
And the crowd applauds as the firin' squad takes aim
[Chorus]
That's when I wonder what I'm waitin' for
An invitation or an open door
A revelation on an ancient scroll
Or just maybe a kick in the teeth
[Verse 2]
When the sharpest blade's in your shoulder, babe, I suppose
Oh, you're bound to cut anybody you pull close
When your heart attacks, and the thin ice cracks below
Oh, you hold your breath, it's just one more step to go
[Chorus]
That's when I wonder what I'm waitin' for
An invitation or an open door
A revelation on an ancient scroll
Or just maybe a kick in the teeth
