Bite Your Tongue - Tommy Stinson

You’ve got the answer for everything that’s wrong with everybody else

You’ve borrowed insights

Should have borrowed someone else’s mouth

And I have

Seen you fallin through the door

When no one would even help you off the floor

You dyed your hair you read Bukowski now and live by every word

You’d look the part

If not for the clothes you wear that you’re wearing out

And I, heard from a man named Seth

That life, don’t come to those who wait for death

When you kiss and tell

You leave a mark

Til someone else bites your tongue

You’ve got your poets and now

Your singers singing show tunes in the car

You weren’t so clever

In your flowered prints and your ghetto scars

And I, want to watch the sunset on the beach

Yeah, it’s always been too far from my reach

You took a turn at Silver Lake

And now you’re calling it your home

Too bad you can’t grow up You’re growing down in your wedding gown

And I, swear to god I’ve seen this play before

Yeah, I smelt the popcorn on the floor

When you kiss and tell you leave a mark

Til someone else bites your tongue
