The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth Lyrics - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Once the dogs have quit their barking 

Son, my neighbour said to me 

Know the emptiness of talking blue the same old sheep 

Run, I'll do no more this walking 

Haunted by a past I just can't see anymore 

Anymore 

But let me tell you I never planned 

To let go of the hand that has been 

Clinging by its thick country skin 

To my yellow country teeth 

To my yellow country teeth 

Far, far away from West Virginia 

I will try on New York City 

Explaining that the sky holds the wind 

The sun rushes in 

A child with a shotgun can shoot down honeybees that sting 

Oh this boy could use a little sting 

All right 

Who will get me to a party 

Who do I have yet to meet 

You, you look a bit like coffee 

And you taste a little like me 

How can I keep from moving 

Now I need a change of scenery 

Just listen to me 

I won't pretend to understand the movement of the wind 

Or the waves in the ocean 

Or how like the hours I change softly slowly 

Plainly blindly oh me oh my
