Nail It Down
Meat Puppets · Forbidden Places [1991]
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
YOU KNOW THE THING WITH THE SIDEWAYS GLANCE; IN THE HEAT OF EVENTS 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
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 AIR
