lyrics

Long in the Tooth

-words and music © 2005 Chris Monti

Springtime open window | Same old foul-mouthed pop song | And the cawing of crow come to pick our bones | And in the back-yard | That old broken-toothed graveyard | It rolls and moans

It’s a good reminder of where we’re going | And in the smooth, polished marble of some long-dead’s headstone | You might catch a glimpse of the state you’re in | What kind of shape are you in? 

Young man I know | Young man I know | I should let him go 

You getting long in the tooth boy! | When you gonna know enough to let it go? 
