White Lies, Yellow Teeth - Modest Mouse

you went out for a walk

i’m sure you went a long ways

sorting things out in our heads

we’ll forget in a few days

in the place before you’re made

they give you all these options

like if you’ve got wings

or have you got feelings

or can you breathe under water?

he chose lifting 10 times his weight

and natural body armor

on the day his mother gave

he came out as an insect

people talk in soda pop

they talk it quite a lot

the opinions that i don’t give

are the opinions i don’t got

white lies fall off my yellow teeth,

i didn’t convince you but i believed

white lies fall off my yellow teeth,

i didn’t convince you but i believed

white lies fall off my yellow teeth,

i didn’t convince you but i believed

white lies fall off my yellow teeth,

i didn’t convince you but i believed

white lies fall off my yellow teeth,

i didn’t convince you but i believed

white lies fall off my yellow teeth,

i didn’t convince you but i believed

white lies fall off my yellow teeth,

i didn’t convince you but i believed

white lies fall off my yellow teeth,

i didn’t convince you but i believed

white lies fall off my yellow teeth,

i didn’t convince you but i believed

white lies fall off my yellow teeth,

i didn’t convince you but i believed

white lies fall off my yellow teeth,

i didn’t convince you but i believed

all so plain, it’s all a plan

it’s all so true of everyone

the sky does not ever end

the air just gets much thinner

i knew a man who talked on and on about

how he knew a man

who knew a man, who knew a man,

who knew him once

you just keep diggin' down and down

without even turning around

or by maybe hell you find you’re diggin' up again

some hippie told me free your pets

so i let them all go free

it didn’t take no time at all

for them to run on back to me white lies fall off my yellow teeth,

i didn’t convince you but i believed

white lies fall off my yellow teeth,

i didn’t convince you but i believed

white lies fall off my yellow teeth,

i didn’t convince you but i believed
