Nails In My Feet

Nails In My Feet - Crowded House

Written by：finn

My life is a house

You crawl through the window

Slip across the floor and into the reception room

You enter the place of endless persuasion

Like a knock on the door

When there's ten or more things to do

Who is that calling

You my companion

Run to the water on a burning beach

And it brings me relief

Pass through the walls

To find my intentions

Circle round in a strange hypnotic state

I look into space

There is no connection

A million points of light

And a conversation I can't face

Cast me off one day

To lose my inhibitions

Sit like a lap dog on a matron's knee

Wear the nails on your feet

I woke up the house

Stumbled in sideways

The lights went on and everybody screamed surprise

The savage review

It left me gasping

But it warms my heart to see that you can

Do it too

Total surrender

Your touch is so tender

Your skin is like water on a burning beach

And it brings me relief

And it brings me relief

And it brings me relief

And I'll remain

I still believe

In the back door under the stars

And the scenery is my floor

In the back room under the stars

And the scenery is my floor
