Hot Gum

I hold soft flames on my tongue and chew on them Like chewing gum They burn the roof of my mouth, but I won't spit it Out loud right now There's an inferno in your mouth, I can tell by the way You smile like it burns You press your lips together like you're kissing yourself To stop me from learning He's a keeper, he's a believer He's on the ground, on his knees in a theater And he put us in a car, I don't know where we are But he fell in love with the fever "I could never leave her, I could never keep her" That's what he says to the neighborhood preacher And he put us in a car, I don't know where we are But I fell in love with the fever and I I watch us burn and fall, the heat is ten feet tall The potential is bench-pressing us into the wall And the flicker flames weave in through my teeth If the hot gum were to slip out, where would we be? Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh Aw- One to two Your teeth wanna tattle and confess To me Your molars are complaining and I can hear Them weep Sucking on fire, while you're a liar that says they Feel nothing Your hand is watching mine like an LA Hawk My hand is well aware that it's being stalked Won't see it smile while I'm chewing on the flame 'Cause I've never been one to ruin the game He's a keeper, he's a believer He's on the ground on his knees in a theater And he put us in a car, I don't know where we are But he fell in love with the fever "I could never leave her, I could never keep her" That's what he says to the neighborhood preacher And he put us in a car, I don't know where we are But I fell in love with the fever and I I watch us burn and fall, the heat is ten feet tall The potential is bench-pressing us into the wall And the flicker flames weave in through my teeth If the hot gum were to slip out, where would we be? Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh (uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh) Your teeth are on fire, do you notice?
