New Fang Lyrics

[Verse 1]
New fang, no thing, had it made
To parade, found a sucker, now I want another
Stand up, step aside, open wide
Hanging out and on until the feeling's gone
Want to? Yes, I do
Wanna learn, taking turns getting carpet burns
Loose lips, lipstick spit
Come and go, I think it's both, I gotta know

[Chorus]
Sometimes you break a finger on the upper hand
Think you've got me confused for a better man
Sometimes you break the finger on the upper hand
Say you've got me confused, oh
I ain't a better man

[Verse 2]
No slack, Cadillac, couldn't quit
Gums flap, so here's your teeth back
Accept what I left
Far behind in a time when my mind was like a landmine
Tailgate by the lake
Too much, too young, every button gonna come undone
Tightrope, no joke
Nothing left, so you go baroque
[Chorus]
Sometimes you break a finger on the upper hand
Said you got me confused with a better man
Sometimes you break the finger on the upper hand
I know you got me confused

[Interlude]
Oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Look out, what I've
New fang pressing down low
No more waiting around for
New fang pressing down, ah
No more waiting around, oh
New fang, new fang
They ain't gonna wait, no
New fang, new, oh
Ain't gonna wait no more

How to Format Lyrics:

Genius Annotation

New Fang was the Vulture’s debut single released on October 26 2009.

When asked about the song’s title in a Video Hits interview with the band, Josh Homme said that the title came from a saying he heard when he was in Idaho during his younger years. The saying as he says basically means to get a fresh start, in Homme’s case the saying was about the only kid in his small town of 2000 people to have a Mohawk and it’s what the kid and his uncle would call “Getting a New Fang”.
