Sharp Teeth Pretty Teeth
Specimen Lyrics

Well I spoke to the devil
The singer had a conversation with the devil.

I told him to go to HELL!
The singer told the devil to go to hell.

He said,
The devil responded,

"Hey, boy I just come from there."
The devil told the artist that he has already been to hell.

So I said
The artist then responded,

"Well," (well)
The singer said "well" as a contemplating pause.

He smiled like a shark.
The devil had a sinister smile.

Old teeth, pretty teeth,
The devil had both old and nice looking teeth.

Sharp teeth, pretty sharp.
His teeth were also sharp and pretty.

He looked like an inspector,
The devil had the appearance of an inspector.

With bright green eyes.
His eyes were bright green in color.

Green thin fingers,
The devil's fingers were thin and green in color.

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa pointing….
He was pointing with his fingers while producing a childish sound effect.

Don't you know he was right?
The devil was correct in his statement.

Sitting on your high horse.
The singer is enjoying a position of power.

When the cowboys come for me,
When people try to attack the artist.

Its sucha a crude form of transport,
The method of attack is unrefined.

A means to an end.
The attack is a means to an end goal.

And an end and an end and an end.
The end goal has repetition.

Sharp teeth, pretty teeth.
The devil's teeth are sharp and nice.

Pretty pretty, sharp teeth all in a row…...
The devil's teeth are orderly and aesthetically pleasing.

Face to face,
Meeting someone in person.

Don't look a gift-horse in the mouth.
Don't critique or examine something that is given as a gift.

And next time,
In the future,

Taste the taste,
Savor the indulgence,

The sweet-sweet bittersweet taste of excess….
Enjoy the bitter-sweet sensation of extravagance.

Well, well, yes!
An expression of excitement.

Ahh, he said he was a a peekish boss
The devil referred to himself as someone who is fidgety.

A broken bed of nails,
A bed filled with nails that are broken.

Nails on fingers
Fingers that have nails on them.

My-My-My
An expression of shock.

My-My Fingers!
A reference to the fingers that have nails on them.

And I know (know)
The artist is aware.

We want to dance together
The artist and the devil want to dance together.

He licked his eyebrows clean
The devil licked his eyebrows.

Say My-my-my I'm so impressed
The artist is impressed.

I'm in distress, ITS YOUR DRESS!
The dress is causing the singer to feel distressed.

Oh no Baby …….(?)
The singer is distressed but it is unclear why.

I do declare! Oh noooo........ OW!
An outburst expressing declaration, distress, and pain.

And for the last time...
For the final instance,

Lifts his jaw, folded wings a flood (?)
The devil had an otherworldly appearance.

And if we can fly then we can go,
If the singer and devil can fly, they can go.

To hell, hell, hell....
They can go to hell.

"Well hell's a hard place my boy."
The devil warns that hell isn't an easy place.

PRETTY!
An exclamation emphasizing the devil's teeth.

With sharp hooks and big teeth
The devil's teeth also contain hooks.

Sharp teeth and (?),
The devil has teeth that are pointed and of an unknown quality.

Sharp teeth, pretty teeth
The devil's teeth are both sharp and aesthetically pleasing.

Sharp, sharp, sharp, sharp....SHARP.
The devil's teeth are sharp.
