Mighty Tortuga - Through Your Teeth

To Rate
Verse 1: Mike
Another laugh caught in your throat
It's a long way to go for a stupid joke, I know
But it makes me feel less old
Another deal you couldn't close
The return on investment, skin and bones, although
To trade would be twofold

Pre-Chorus: Mike & Kevin
Call it skepticism
Volunteered emission
Useless interpretation
Nothing's clear

Chorus: Mike & Kevin
I'll believe it when I see it next
Stand and shiver at the truth, 'round the bend
Sigh and smile upon the errors left
You'll starve yourself to death

Verse 2: Mike & Kevin
Another lie caught in your throat
It's a sure-firе path to dash all hope, I hold
Burn the pyre, lеt it float

Guitar Solo: Mike
Bridge: Mike, Kevin, Both
Can we just speak plain?
Will you ever change?
(Will you ever change?)
Can we just speak plain?
Will you ever change?
(Will you ever change?)

Can you just speak plainly to me?

Chorus: Mike & Kevin
I'll believe it when I see it next
Stand and shiver at the truth, 'round the bend
Sigh and smile upon the errors left
You'll starve yourself to death

Outro: Mike & Kevin
I think I'll believe it
You'll starve yourself to death
I think I'll believe it
You'll starve yourself to death
Call it a premonition
You will, you will
Starve yourself to death
