Lyrics Modest Mouse

Modest Mouse

White Lies, Yellow Teeth

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 underwater?

He chose lifting ten 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

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 went on and on

About how he knew a man who knew a man

Who knew a man who knew him once

You can keep digging down and down inside

And even turn around or find in hell

You're digging 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
