lyrics

And everywhere we go
Why should this be so?
I just wanna know
Why do so many things
Look like teeth these days?

And every little breeze seems to whisper unease
Birds up in the trees seem to twitter disease

It doesn’t make sense that a white picket fence
Looks like it might bite off my leg
Security spikes it appears they would like
To chew me alive like an egg

Every drop of rain I see hisses danger to me
The leaves in my tea spell out tyranny

That noisy lawnmower has a jagged contour
It looks like it thinks that I’m chow
A big bowl of corn is like teeth that are shorn
Thank God they can’t threaten me now!

Is something in the air?
Like paranoia and despair
I see them everywhere
Why do so many things
Look like teeth these days?

Every flower that’s in bloom promising sudden doom
Objects in the room only lead to more gloom

A tunnel’s a scar just a mouth eating cars
Disguised as a nice Sunday drive
The spikes on the gate they surely can’t wait
To eat some poor bastard alive

Is it just my mind?
Is everybody blind?
Maybe someday I’ll find
Why do so many things
Look like teeth these days?

And everywhere we go
Why should this be so?
Maybe I’ll never know
Why do so many things
Look like teeth these days?
