Lyrics

[Verse 1] Baby, it's empty in here Don't you know anybody could find you in here? You know, maybe Maybe that's the reason I came Wanted to be discovered By you all over again Throw my ball over the fence The doors will be closing soon They're gonna lock it up And suddenly, suddenly you You won't be able to breathe, or to scream, or to cry Your brain will tell you that it's always worth a try But you'll know better [Verse 2] So tell me, why do you lie? Are you embarrassed? Are you ashamed to admit that you like That you like such a funny flavor? You savor this candy as your tongue bleeds You get down on your hands and your knees To pick up all your baby teeth Put them in your pocket And next time spit them out Into an old pair of socks And tie them up in a knot Keep them somewhere safe Somewhere tucked away Somewhere safe, and Somewhere tucked away [Verse 3] Plant them under your pillow And watch the garden grow Faster than you know Little white memories Beget greener grass and greener pastures The other side of the gate Seems to grow faster [Verse 4] So look at me, here I am My gums are bleeding, and my T-shirt is fucking soaked I got a visit from the tooth fairy the first time And it left such a great impression on me I just couldn't stop myself from tying A string around everything That was remaining in my mouth And then yanking it out So won't you come back to my House when the lights are all out? To where I sleep, and please accept my offering Lift up my head, and leave me [Chorus] Dollars underneath Lift up my head, and leave me Dollars underneath And pretty soon I'll have a grown-up set of teeth For sinking deeper into meat and Listerine [Post-Chorus] A grown-up set of— Pretty soon I'll have A grown-up set of teeth And those will be mine to keep You won't come collect those from me You won't come around collecting those from me [Outro] A grown-up set of teeth Pretty soon I'll have A grown-up set of teeth Pretty soon I'll have A grown-up set of teeth Pretty soon I'll have A grown-up set of teeth Pretty soon I'll have A grown-up set of teeth Pretty soon I'll have A grown-up set of teeth Pretty soon I'll have A grown-up set of teeth Pretty soon I'll have A grown-up set of teeth
