Crooked Teeth

1. It was one hundred degrees
As we sat beneath a willow tree
Whose tears didn't care
They just hung in the air
And refused to fall, to fall.

And I knew I'd made a horrible call
And now the state line felt
Like the Berlin wall
And there was no doubt
About which side I was on.

'Cause I built you a home in my heart
With rotten wood, it decayed from the start.

[Chorus:]
'Cause you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along.

2. I braved treacherous streets
And kids strung out
On homemade speed
And we shared a bed
In which I could not sleep at all.

'Cause that night the sun in retreat
Made the skyline look
Like crooked teeth
In the mouth of a man
Who was devouring, us both.

You're so cute when you're slurring your speech
But they're closing the bar and they want us to leave.

[Bridge:]
I'm a war of head versus heart
And it's always this way
My head is weak, my heart always speaks
Before I know what it will say.

[Coda:]
And you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
There were churches, theme parks and malls
But there was nothing there all along.
