[Intro, spoken]
Hey, uh
This-this is Nate Jarvis
Uh, I gotta make an appointment
Early next Thursday

[Hook]
Dead man buried in the basement (basement)
Gold-plated spinners on my spaceship (spaceship)
Sharper than the scaler that they scrape with
When you're at the dentist and they steady hatin' (what?)

[Verse 1]
Man, whatchu you talkin' about, my dentist is amazin'
Why you talkin' 'bout the dentist in the first place, man?
I dunno, I'm just a little frustrated
Sittin' in the waiting room, gettin' sick of waitin'
Space the umff out, 'till I'm thinkin' about the placement
Of waiting room chairs and the places that they're placed in
Pickin' out the toys, if I was younger, I would play with
But I'm no longer a boy, docile, complacent
What a nice place, cleanliness, organization
Excluding the crooked plaques, making me insane, shit
To the right of them, sittin' a pretty paintin'
This one is level, it is properly situated
Posted in my chair, yes- I'm sittin' in my station
What's takin' 'em so long, man- I'm gettin' anxious
Just as I'm thinkin' all about evacuation
The nurse walks in and she calls out, "Nathan"
(Spoken)
Hey
How you doin'
I'm doin' good, how are you
I'm doing, I'm doing well thank you
That's good
Come this way, right this way
Alright
The dentist will see you

[Verse 2]
Now I'm sitting in my chair with a hat on my hair
Sunglasses on my face and a dead man's stare
At the light right in front of the teeth
Pearly white like a light bright device type-machine
Now I'm waitin' once again and I'm lookin' outside
At a basketball court and an overcast sky
And nobody around save the cars in the lot And the freeway through the trees way out past the park
Hygienist walked in with a tone I could tell
Said, "Nathan, it'll be a couple"
Oh, what the hell
Now I shift my focus to the window itself
Tissues, a fan and some books on the shelf
Absolute Beginner's Guide to the Bible
And World History are among some of the titles
120 Banned books, wonder how many I know
It's only 10 in the morning and yo, I'm bored out of my mind bro
M.C. Escher, that's the one I'd like to read
At least I know it has some pictures I would like to see
Pamphlets on the right that might not apply to me
Bite Soft and Straight Talk About Crooked Teeth
The dentist comes back, to scrape upon the plaque
I'm uncomfortable, burdened by the sweat upon my back
I hate the feeling and sound of them peeling through my mouth
I got a cavity? I'm glad, good B Y E
See y'all around
G'bye
(Spoken)
So you're gonna see Linda at the desk
And uh, she'll check you out
Alrighty, sounds good

Hey Nathan, so uh, we'll set up an appointment for six months from now
Alright
And we're gonna have to get you in next Monday for your filling
That soon?
Yep, yep, ya know nip it in the bud, right
I suppose, have a good day Linda
You-you too Nathan have a good day
Thank you

[Outro]
I'm steady flossin'
I'm steady flossin'
I'm steady flossin'
Orally awesome
I'm steady flossin'
