Lyrics

[00:00.00] NAILS IN MY FEET
[00:02.50]
[00:03.50] my life is a house
[00:05.50] you crawl through the window
[00:08.50] slip across the floor and into the reception room
[00:13.50] you enter the place of endless persuasion
[00:19.50] like a knock on the door when there's ten or more
[00:22.50] things to do
[00:22.50]
[00:23.50] who was that calling
[00:28.50] you my companion
[00:33.50] run to the water on a burning beach
[00:38.50] and it brings me relief
[00:41.50]
[00:42.50] pass through the walls
[00:44.50] to find my intentions
[00:47.50] circle round in a strange hypnotic state
[00:52.50] I look into space
[00:55.50] there is no connection
[00:57.50] a million points of light in a conversation I can't face
[01:01.50]
[01:02.50] cast me off one day
[01:07.50] to lose my inhibitions
[01:12.50] sit like a lap dog on a matron's knee
[01:17.50] wear the nails in your feet
[01:44.50] I woke up the house
[01:47.50] stumbled in sideways
[01:50.50] the lights went on and everybody screamed surprise
[01:54.50] the savage review
[01:57.50] it left me gasping
[02:00.50] but it warms my heart to see that you can do it too
[02:44.50][02:03.50][01:24.50]
[02:04.50] total surrender
[02:09.50] your touch is so tender
[02:14.50] your skin is like water on a burning beach
[03:02.50][02:56.50][02:33.50][02:28.50][02:22.50] and it brings me relief
[03:07.50] in the back door under the stars
[03:10.50] and the ceiling is my floor
[03:13.50] in the back room under the stars
[03:15.50] and scenery is my floor
