It's knowin' that I'm next in line to go and
Meet my anesthetic doom
That makes me pause and think about
The last time when I felt that needle ouch..
And it's knowin' this old yanker
Won't be easy with his pluckin,
Or the pryin' on the bad teeth that he'll find
These gum gaps in the back row
Make me shiver like wind willows,
I'm stressin' out..with dental on my mind

Now I'm grippin' this old scare chair tighter,
And that white coat devil's right beside me
He's askin' what it was I said,
'Cause with his hands in my mouth, it's hard talkin'
I mumble, just remembered - that I left my Chevy runnin',
And It's double parked by railroad tracks, inclined..
Can't this wait till next monday?
Pitch a last ditch effort, dental on my mind

That face mask..on a mission,
Just ignores me, leans his hard knee 'gainst my penis..
I'm hearin' children sobbin' in the next room,
Guess they caught my wussy moans..
I could try to cut and run, but he's too close up in my space,
And his head lamp is about to turn me blind..
All the gougin' and the crunchin', tenses up my fragile body,
Tastin' salty blood, now..dental's on my mind

Nasty mouthfuls, I expel into..the gurglin'
Cracklin cauldron, here beside me
My cheeks are like dead tissue from
The dirty rat who's spoiled my appetite
With his gloved hand - moves the work stand,
My whole mouth feels like a watermelon rind
Packin' in the gauze and cotton,
Writes prescriptions for some pain pills;
Got a canyon smile, but dental's off my mind

Flash a canyon smile'...no dental on my mi-i-ind
