Lyrics for Shoehorn With Teeth

He wants a shoehorn The kind with teeth People should get beat up For statin' their beliefs He wants a shoehorn The kind with teeth 'Cause he knows there's no such thing He asked a girl If they can both sit in a chair But he doesn't get nervous She's not really there He wants a shoehorn The kind with teeth 'Cause he knows there's no such thing Tour the world In a heavy metal band But they run out of gas The plane may never land He wants a shoehorn The kind with teeth People should get beat up For statin' their beliefs He wants a shoehorn The kind with teeth 'Cause he knows there's no such thing What's the sense In ever thinkin' 'bout the tomb When you're much too busy Returnin' to the womb? He wants a shoehorn The kind with teeth People should get beat up For statin' their beliefs He wants a shoehorn The kind with teeth 'Cause he knows there's no such thing
