New Slang

I got a new phone because my old one was tired of fighting for network. And then one fateful week she just totally died. Well, this was my old ring tone and I miss it. Now I just have an annoying one that came with the phone. Lame.

{the shins -- new slang -- lance bangs -- vimeo}

gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.
only, i don’t know how they got out, dear.
turn me back into the pet that i was when we met.
i was happier then with no mind-set.

new slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
hope it’s right when you die, old and bony.
dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
never shoulda called
but my head’s to the wall and i’m lonely.

and if you’da took to me like
a gull takes to the wind.
well, i’da jumped from my tree
and i’da danced like the king of the eyesores
and the rest of our lives woulda fared well.

god speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs,
and bleed into their buns ‘til they melt away.

i’m looking in on the good life i might be doomed never to find.
without a trust or flaming fields am i too dumb to refine?
