Crooked Teeth

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, mm mm

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

'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

I braved treacherous streets with 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

And 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

I'm a war of head versus heart,
it's always this way
My head is weak,
my heart always speaks
before I know what it will say

And 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
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
