Bite My Tongue - The Riverboat Gamblers

Do you own the teeth to really say that,

G.A.L.L.

Now that’s some gall.

I can’t get you stalled in the rain.

Your expert quest is right there in the mail,

it’s been head on head.

and every word,

every sentence that you ever said,

is pointing back at you,

like an arrow in neon blue.

So I bite, my tongue,

swallow, my blood.

And all I want,

is you to shut… up.

Do you care to give us your opinion,

that girl says the dumbest things.

You repeat, repeat,

you’re repetition.

I did it wrong recurve the day you never heard,

a comment someone said.

Do you get it wrong,

While trying to come off as smart.

I’m looking for,

an escape route,

before you’re mouth,

makes words come out.

I bite, my tongue,

swallow, my blood,

I bite, my tongue,

swallow, my blood

I bite, my tongue,

swallow, my blood,

I bite, my tongue,

swallow, my blood,

my blood,

my blood.
