Pulling Teeth
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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.
