Teeth of Night

Intro

Ba-ba-da

Shoo-bee-doo

Mm-mmm

Chorus

Vine and velvet pulling on my sleeve

Deep green calling for a quick reprieve

Safety in the hallway light

Freedom in the teeth of night

Freedom in the teeth of night

Verse 1

Silver tray

Steam from a porcelain cup

Starlight scratching at the shutters till I wake up

Familiar carpet soft and gray

Pre-Chorus

But I hear the cat cry

And I hear the wood sigh

Now I hear the wild high

Chorus

Vine and velvet pulling on my sleeve

Deep green calling for a quick reprieve

Safety in the hallway light

Freedom in the teeth of night

Freedom in the teeth of night

Verse 2

Black ink silk

Moon on the kitchen floor

Shadows shivering outside the garden door

I keep the latch locked tight

Pre-Chorus

But I hear the cat cry

And I hear the wood sigh

Now I hear the wild high

Bridge

Soft seat

Cool treat

Hard beat

Locked in the parlor

Lost in the harbor

Chorus

Vine and velvet pulling on my sleeve

Deep green calling for a quick reprieve

Safety in the hallway light

Freedom in the teeth of night

Freedom in the teeth of night

Post-Chorus

Doo-bee-da-ba-day

Go or stay

Run away

Go or stay

Mm-mmm
