Shrunken Heads
Words (Big Mouth)
[Spoken] I got a big one
Well it's me, I didn't mean to wake you,
I owe you an apology
about last night.
Well I was just letting off steam.
Black Dog lurkin' in the alleyway
Alcohol robbin' with the key
Open up the floodgates and out it comes
Like a river full of gravity
Ah words. Little beads of poison,
Letting out the venom.
One thing for certain baby,
I got a big mouth.
I'll change. I promise you I'm gonna change.
I gotta turn a new leaf
And this will be the very last ime
I put my foot in it.
Black Dog putting these words in my mouth
Well don't take any notice of me.
I don't mean to vent my spleen,
I hate it when that happens.
Just words, cruel little clusters
My very own venacular
Hey, one thing for certain baby,
I've got a big mouth, I got a big mouth
[Instrumental break]
Don't leave, I'm beggin' you please, don't leave.
These words are only make-believe,
You can take them with a grain of salt.
Words can eat a man alive.
Black Dog robbin' in some broken bar.
Hand claps rattling my bones,
Hound dogs fading into wilderness
And I just wanna come home.
Ah words. Nasty little lizards,
Grammatical bacteria
With one thing for certain baby,
I got a big mouth,
I got a big mouth,
I got a big mouth, yeah.
Just words just getting on your nerves
Little shots of how I am
I got a big mouth, I got a big mouth, I got a big mouth. [He's got a big mouth]
Yagadee, Yagadee, Yagadee, Yagadee,
Yagadee, Yagadee, Yagadee, Yagadee,
Yagadee, Yagadee, Yagadee, Yagadee,
Yagadee, Yagadee, Yagadee, Yagadee, yeah
Callin' out my weary
I got a big mouth, [He's got a big mouth]
