The Salesman, Denver Max

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Yeah, through the screen door, your thoughts are quarantined Yeah, by the way you smell, I can tell that you're fifteen Yeah, my name is Denver Max; I eat heart attacks Yeah, from your mouth, to your hands, to the floor, you're babbling syntax [Refrain] 'Cause what crickets see is between you and me Yeah, what scarecrows think would turn your eyeballs pink [Chorus] Don't you try to call the cops, little girl, cops, little girl Before you pick up the phone, you'll be dead! Don't you try to call the cops, little girl, cops, little girl Your tongue is withered; it's heavier than lead! Won't you just step into the car, little girl, car, little girl Your parents don't understand what's in your head! 'Cause we're really onto something special, little girl, special, little girl You're blushing red; your head can't hide those thoughts of dread [Verse 2] Yeah-yeah, through the screen door, uh, kiss me like a queen Yeah-yeah, it tastes like metal in my mouth, uh, rusty Listerine Yeah-yeah, my name is Denver Max, uh, please excuse the mask Yeah, running down my face, bound by tacks and paste [Refrain] 'Cause what crickets see is between you and me Yeah, what scarecrows think would turn your eyeballs pink, turn your eyeballs pink [Verse 3] And with a face like that, you're never ever gonna make it big You'll never find a boyfriend unless you get it adjusted [Pre-Chorus] Yeah-yeah, my name is Denver Max; won't you come sit on my lap? Yeah-yeah, 'cause the only thing you own is everything you lack, alright [Chorus] Don't you try to call the cops, little girl, cops, little girl Before you pick up the phone, you'll be dead! Don't you try to call the cops, little girl, cops, little girl Your tongue is withered; it's heavier than lead! Won't you just step into the car, little girl, car, little girl Your parents don't understand what's in your head! 'Cause we're really onto something special, little girl, special, little girl You're blushing red; your head can't hide those thoughts of dread! Can't hide those thoughts of dread! [Bridge] By the time we hit Tucson, your parents, little girl, parents, little girl Will be wondering where their pretty little blonde has gone The time we hit Mexico, you'll know, little girl, know, little girl That Denver Max will always be the only one The time we hit the ocean, we'll jump, little girl, jump, little girl Down to find the undersea sun [Breakdown] Yeah, before you pick up the phone, you'll be dead! Yeah, before you pick up the phone, you'll be dead! Oh, you'll be dead, yeah! [Outro] Won't you just step into the car, little girl, car, little girl Your parents don't understand what's in your head! 'Cause we're really onto something special, little girl, special, little girl You're blushing red; your head can't hide those thoughts of dread! Can't hide those thoughts of dread!
