TAOS Songtext
von Menomena

Oh I′ll bet I know what you like
At least think I know what you might
I'm not the most cocksure guy
But I get more bold with every smile

So please, show me your teeth, I′ll show mine
I sure hope our P's and Q's don′t mind
Cause I′ve been alone quite some time
And I've got to scratch this itch of mine
And I think I know what you know
I′m not that smooth but I'm not blind

The hours pass us by as gin slips slowly
Past our tingling spines, cheeks warm and glowing
I′m a social mess but not yet slurring
The words that come to rest upon my luring tongue


Oh I'll bet I know what you like
At least think I know what you might
I′m not the most cocksure guy
But I still sure fight the good hard fight
Try as I may, try I might
I'll ever scratch this itch of mine
We've all got our vices, this one′s mine
So I might not smoke but I get high

Underneath this fleshy robe lies a beast with no control
I fed it once look how it′s grown
Oh my god, bring me peace from this wolf covered in fleece
I can't shake loose from its teeth
Oh my god, set me free
I have no ability to cut my leash and walk away

With every passing night my conscience lessens
And seems to pacify these guilt filled sessions
Now I′m a social pest but not yet willing
To put my laws to rest till I'm done filling these holes

I′ll bet I know what you like
At least think I know what you might
And I'm not the most cocksure man
I take what I get and get what I can
