We're in the Mouth Now

[Verse 1] A house came spinning down Through a blackened sky When I opened up my eyes The witch was still outside Her shadow on the curtain Longer than the wall She tapped her bony fingers And I heard my name called [Tin Man] Don't follow the yellow [Pre-Chorus] Yellow turned to rust Rust turned into bone Every pretty thing I saw Was hungry on its own The corn began to bow The scarecrow began to stare And somewhere down the road A lion started praying there [Chorus] We're not in Kansas We're in the mouth now We're not in Kansas And it won't let us out (Tin road) it screams my name (Tin road) it knows my name We're not in Kansas We're in the mouth now [Verse 2] The man behind the curtain Wore a grin too wide He stitched a little heart Then tore it out to hide The monkey wings were flapping Like hands against the rain And every step I took Just fed the floor its pain Dorothy, hold your breath The house is still alive The slippers on your feet Are counting every mile [Pre-Chorus] Yellow turned to rust Rust turned into bone Every pretty thing I saw Was hungry on its own The trees leaned in to listen The path began to bend And the witch beneath the poppies Kept waiting at the end [Chorus] We're not in Kansas We're in the mouth now We're not in Kansas And it won't let us out (Tin road) it screams my name (Tin road) it knows my name We're not in Kansas We're in the mouth now [Bridge] If I wake, don't wake me If I run, don't run slow The girl in the mirror Has nowhere left to go One poppy, two poppies Three and then the dark I saw the witch in my reflection Smiling in the sparks [Final Chorus] We're not in Kansas We're in the mouth now We're not in Kansas And it won't let us out (Tin road) it screams my name (Tin road) it knows my name We're not in Kansas We're in the mouth now (We're in the mouth now) (We're in the mouth now)
