Meat Puppets - Nail It Down Lyrics
In or around this cold and broken sight, in the heat of events got one thing rightI walked through an invisible fire; I got burned I remember and I still got the scarLike the loosened connection on your personal circuitDon't need a hammer just to nail it down, nail it down--nail it downYou know the thing with the sideways glance; In the heat of a moment there's a little chanceLittle face with a painted grin comes the realization you must backwards walk inIf it tries to escape you through an open windowDon't need a hammer just to nail it down, nail it down--nail it downStep aside to miss the opening verse; catch the full on blast of what's a little worseWithin a pond down inside somewhere there's a rustle of quiet and the salt of the airIf it tries to escape you through an open windowDon't need a hammer just to nail it down, nail it down--nail it downLike the loosened connection on your personal circuitDon't need a hammer just to nail it down, nail it down--nail it downIf it tries to escape you through an open window, nail it down,nail it down, nail it down, nail it down, nail it down, nail it down, nail it down, nail it downTHIS DAYOn this day we were miles away, we saw a clock up in the skyThe hands lay on the show to pay, number fallen on its sideThis day, this dayJust one note that was all she wrote and the sound blew down the wallsThe one boat that was set to float took a trip right down the fallsThis day, this dayThis day you were miles awayThis dayIn two ways we could cut the haze and we never used a knifeIn those days there was zero waste now the waste of time is lifeThis day, this day, this day, this dayThis day, this day, this day, this day, this day, this day
