Pulling Teeth Lyrics by The Cardboard Crowns

0

There’s one thousand things they’ll teach you
Just before they turn to leech you of your soul
And all your time
And they’ll be “so pleased to meet you”
And to know if they can treat you to a meal
They’ll pour the wine
Then they’ll tell you that you want it
And they’ll show you how to flaunt it
At the same time as you climb
When you’re so wowed by all the glamour
You can’t even feel the hammer
As it shatters through your spine
But I didn’t get the words they said
And I never learned to write between the lines
Before you read
And they tell you you’re alone
Now you’re drowning in politeness
But you start the sense the tightness
Of the rope you walk or hang
They’ve got eight fingers in your pies
And the last two in your eyes
To hide the glistening of their fangs
But we could hear the words not said
Slip between their grinning teeth
To make their way inside your head
Then they tell you you’re so close
Yes, there’s ten thousand things they’ll teach you
To facilitate the breach into your head
Your heart, your mind
And if you dare not meet projections
You find - despite your best objections -
They will cast you from their side
But I didn’t get the words they said
And I never learned to write between the lines
Before you read
And they tell you you’re alone
