Drones - Nail It Down lyrics

rate me

Nail it down, nail it down

Come back home and nail it down

You can't never get nothing up off the ground

If someone don't come along and nail it down

He says he knows, he says he knows

He's never ever been where his mouth goes

Well it's all the same that vicious zeal

But how does what's false apply to what is real?

And why's it got to be a mystery?

You got to lay it out

Like thunderheads creeping down the hill

And pretty soon everyone gets I'll

But I slip the net, being tall and thin

And pretty soon the dark turns to dim

I can see a little clearer now

You got to nail it down

Listen here, listen here

Tomorrow is the first day of the year

So cut the work that can't be done

You're either cutting all that work or you won't finish

None

You got to lay your tools out

Pick up one

All storms still stir

Behind a big sea wall

What's the point of something that you can't recall?

Give it time, give it time

It'll go to rack and ruin

And you'll lose your mind

You'll either learn to swim then

Or you'll be left behind

I'll try anything

Anything I think is good

And I'll do anything

Anything I think I should

I'll try anything

If it seems clearer at first light

I'll do anything

Before it's vanished from my sight

Her hair was wet

Her shoes were damp

And as she travelled on the weather licked her like a

Stamp

She said "I don't grasp the way you think sometimes

You're like a star that's died but hasn't lost it's

Shine"

My head is hollow as she turns to go

Nail it down

Nail it down, nail it down

Come back home and nail it down

Can't never get nothing up off the ground

If someone don't come along and nail it down

You break one law you break all laws

Nail it down

I'll try anything

Anything within a breath

I'll do anything

You know you would not want to pine to death

I'll try anything

Anything that's bought or sold

I'll try anything

Even something that you cannot hold

I'll do anything

Said the old man of the sea

I'd try anything

If you would only get along with me

And I've been everywhere

And I've done everything to do

But I'd try anything

If I could only get along with you
