Lyrics Dear and the Headlights

Dear and the Headlights

It's Gettin' Easy

In this act I'll disguise those dead eyes

Stretch tight the lips

A glistening gum line

Mouth curtains pulled I shine

My yellow stage light smile distracting dancing puppets on short saliva strings

So you'll find comfort in a lie

My over-bite clenched, set in place

Like a stack of polished, bright white dinner plates

Hand in my pocket

Straight jacket mind, yeah

It's gettin' easy

I wish I had a single thought

The least bit legitimate enough

To open up my mouth and spit accuracy

It's gettin' easy

In this act I'll disguise those dead eyes

Lay flat the tongue

Let the supplement slide down

Everything is fine!

And my brain is cloudy, leveled out

The pill, dissolved, it's flushing out

Everything I care about

And not replacing it with anything substantial

So I'm on my hands and knees

Like a martyr callin' out his final plea

The executioner looks exactly like me

It's me!

It's gettin' easy

My over-bite clenched so tight

Like a stack of dinner plates all polished white

Hands at my side

Straight jacket mind, alright

It's gettin' easy

And I wish I had a single thought

The least bit legitimate enough

And I wish I had a single thought

The least bit legitimate enough

(And I wish I had a single thought....)

And I wish I wasn't on my hands and knees

Like martyr callin' out his final plea

The executioner looks exactly like me

It's me!

It's gettin's easy

In this act I'll disguise those dead eyes

Like a stack of dinner plates all polished white

Hands at my side

Straight jacket mind, alright

It's gettin' easy.
