Mice, Words, Habits, Teeth, Losses

lyrics

A walk down memory lane is oh-so near my house
There's something I never could say: "Hey"
I still get you in my dreams, still wish it was someone else
Yr face disguised by bright gleaming... "Hey"

Whatever happened to vigilant eyes?
Like when I slept as a kid every night?
Whatever happened to magical mice?
And so what happened to my teeth all those times?
Whatever happened to brilliant fires?
The kind that used to light up my skies?
Led the flocks all astray
Set all the shepherds ablaze

Caught you in line while we were waiting for beers
And I hear that you bartend near here
But I've always wanted to know
Where is wherever it is you go?
Brightest flame I've ever seen
You know I'd drop everything
If it meant you would burn me alive
And if I say any different, I'm lying
(Lying through my teeth,
Lying through my teeth,
Lying through my teeth,
L-l-lying through my teeth...)
