Nail It Down Lyrics


Meat Puppets Nail It Down


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



THIS DAY
On this day we were miles away, we saw a clock up in
the sky
The hands lay on the show to pay, number fallen on it's
side
This day, this day
Just one note that was all she wrote and the sound blew
down the walls
The one boat that was set to float took a trip right
down the falls
This day, this day
This day you were miles away
This day
In two ways we could cut the haze and we never used a
knife
In those days there was zero waste now the waste of
time is life
This day, this day, this day, this day
This day, this day, this day, this day, this day, this
day
