Let's Paint Our Teeth Green Lyrics

Oo, oo
Somebody
Is being bitchy
In New York City
Oh, Carly hit you

Oo, let's paint our teeth green
Oo, let's shoot a snuff film
Oo, let's buy a rifle
Oo, let's start a fire

I'll find something lighter
At night when we think it's thicker
To the moon and through your midnight shiver
Let's settle for love

Oo, let's move to your top
Oo, let's make some sick love
Oo, let's shoot our rifle
Oo, let's dump the bible (or body)

I don't want to be the voice of death
I need to build myself a shelter or else
'Cause honey, I can feel you move
I'm never coming home to you

Let's paint our teeth green
Oo, let's shoot ourself thin
Oo, let's buy a rifle
Oo, let's start a fire
Oo

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.

This has been killing me. The second line of the chorus sounds like " let's shoot a snuff film"?

I get the feeling that this song is about him wanting to just run away with the girl he's interested in.
