Perfect Teeth Lyrics by Nathan Reich

Need Machine

2016

[Verse 1]
Arrived in St. Louis
With the sun on the arch
I set up the chairs and played my part
But the back row was sleeping
Or staring at phones
Some things are worse than being alone
I don't need the praises
Or colorful lights
I just want a bed that's mine for the night
And I see all those faces
In those colorless rooms
The smell of the living
And women's perfume
[Chorus 1]
Dark ocean blue
Such a nice windowless view
For endless days of hassles
What else am I supposed to do
Bright summer muse
Only thing brighter than you
If you don't want to hold my hand
I've got this guitar to use
[Verse 2]
She sang so sweet
In a skeleton shirt
A nylon string she stole from a church
And I wanted to meet her
And talk about her songs
But I felt like a creep
And waited too long
So tonight I'll be sleeping
In the back of my van
Mosquitoes biting my legs and my hands
And when I close my eyes
I see them all
I see all those cities and peeling black walls
[Chorus 2]
Dark ocean blue
Only thing bluer than you
I like your perfect teeth
All your unfinished tattoos
Bright summer muse
Only thing brighter than you
If you don't want to hold my hand
I've got this guitar to use
[Verse 3]
And when I close my eyes
I see them all
In those small town highways
And those terrible halls
And there's some kind of heat
In the blood of a man
But then blood is so cold
When it's wet on your hands
[Chorus 3]
Dark ocean blue
Love is a windowless room
If you don't want to hold my hand
Well what else am I supposed to do
Bright summer muse
Only thing brighter than you
If you don't want to hold my hand
I've got this guitar to use
