How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Track #8 on The Mountain Goats‘ ninth studio album The Sunset Tree.

“Lion’s Teeth” serves as the dramatic centerpiece of the album. Described by John Darnielle as “a revenge fantasy”, it depicts a night at the peak of his childhood abuse, where he dreams of standing up to his abusive stepfather.
