Anthony D’Amato - A Kick in the Teeth lyrics
[Anthony D’Amato - A Kick in the Teeth lyrics]
When the night's begun well before
The sun has set and the rain is gone
But the river's yet to crest
When the shakin's stopped
Only aftershocks remain
And the crowd applauds as the
Firin' squad takes aim
That's when I wonder what I'm waitin' for
An invitation or an open door
A revelation on an ancient scroll
Or just maybe a kick in the teeth
When the sharpest blade's in
Your shoulder, babe, i suppose
Oh, you're bound to cut
Anybody you pull close
When your heart attacks
And the thin ice cracks below
Oh, you hold your breath
It's just one more step to go
That's when I wonder what I'm waitin' for
An invitation or an open door
A revelation on an ancient scroll
Or just maybe a kick in the teeth
The sun has set and the rain is gone
But the river's yet to crest
When the shakin's stopped
Only aftershocks remain
And the crowd applauds as the
Firin' squad takes aim
That's when I wonder what I'm waitin' for
An invitation or an open door
A revelation on an ancient scroll
Or just maybe a kick in the teeth
When the sharpest blade's in
Your shoulder, babe, i suppose
Oh, you're bound to cut
Anybody you pull close
When your heart attacks
And the thin ice cracks below
Oh, you hold your breath
It's just one more step to go
That's when I wonder what I'm waitin' for
An invitation or an open door
A revelation on an ancient scroll
Or just maybe a kick in the teeth
