lyrics

In my dream you were a dentist
Quietly going about your business
I wanted your hands inside my mouth
In my dream you had a coat
It was white and smelled strongly of smoke
The moment we met I knew I needed to make you mind
Somehow.

Just a pinch and a bit of drilling
You carved in me one silver filling
The latex on my lips it felt so strange
All that gauze bright red with truth
Gave you an unobstructed view
Of my heart and everything that
I couldn't say to your face.

I've only got 27 teeth I'm supposed to have 32
I know I'm not perfect and now you've seen the proof
I've only got 27 teeth I've had five removed
The only thing I am missing in me is you.

I tried to sit up and swish and spit
In a way that might seem elegant
As you popped your kit inside the autoclave
You gave me a cherry chupa chus
Even though I was 42
And had decades long of sugary sweet
Decay.

I've only got 27 teeth I'm supposed to have 32
I know I'm not perfect and now you've seen the proof
I've only got 27 teeth I've had five removed
The only thing I am missing in me is you.

In my dream you were a dentist
Quietly going about your business
I wanted your hands inside my mouth
In my dream you had a coat
It was white and smelled strongly of smoke
The moment we met I knew I needed to make you mind
Somehow.
