Sharpen Up Those Fangs Lyrics

he's the boy with the messy mind
its hard to find the time to clear it
he's the boy with the broken brain
not insane but never happy
sharpen up those fangs
not insane but never happy
shes' got those rock star girlfriend eyes
the kind that fry the back of your skull
shes' the one with the skinny face
shes' got an ace with sleeves stuffed up it
sharpen up those fangs
got an ace with sleeves stuffed up it

and its no surprise no surprise
the fangs aren't sterilized
i'm too weak for curled fingers
too tempting to pass by

no surprise no surprise
the fangs aren't sterilized
i'm too weak for curled fingers
too tempting to pass by

She's the girl with the chocolate heart
she turns up the heat and melts her target
stumbles into a poisonous thing
she feels the sting but it dosent matter
sharpen up those fangs
she feels the sting but it dosent matter

pull the spider out from under your boot
the venomus tooth will make you smile
let it bit cause it so damn cute
let it bite and drain you empty
sharpen up those fangs
let it bite and drain you empty

and its no surprise no surprise
the fangs aren't sterilized
i'm too weak for curled fingers
too tempting to pass by

no surprise no surprise
the fangs aren't sterilized
i'm too weak for curled fingers
too tempting to pass by

sharpen up those fangs
sharpen up those fangs
sharpen up those fangs
sharpen up those fangs
sharpen up those fangs
sharpen up those fangs
sharpen up those fangs

not insane but never happy
sharpen up those fangs

shes' got an ace with sleeves stuffed up it 
sharpen up those fangs
got an ace with sleeves stuffed up it

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
