Meat Puppets - Nail It Down lyrics

In or around this cold and broken sight
In the heat of events, got one thing right
I walked through an invisible fire
I got burned, I remember
And I still got the scar

Like the loosened connection on
Your personal circuit
Don't need a hammer just to nail it down
Nail it down nail it down

You know the thing with the sideways glance
In the heat of a moment
There's a little chance
Little face with a painted grin
Comes the realization you must
Backwards walk in

If it tries to escape you
Through an open window
Don't need a hammer just to nail it down
Nail it down nail it down

Step aside to miss the opening verse
Catch the full on blast of
What's a little worse
Within a pond down inside somewhere
There's a rustle of quiet and
The salt of the air

If it tries to escape you
Through an open window
Don't need a hammer just to nail it down
Nail it down nail it down
Like the loosened connection on
Your personal circuit
Don't need a hammer just to nail it down
Nail it down nail it down
If 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 down
