NAILS IN MY FEET - crowded house
Capo 3rd fret
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 per- suasion
Like a knock on the door
when there's ten or more things to do
Chorus
-
Who is that calling
-
Are you my Com- panion?
Run to the water
on a burning beach,
and it brings me re- lief
Pass through the walls
to find my in tentions
Circle 'round
in a strange, hypnotic state
I look into space
there is no con- nection
A million points of light
and a conversation I can't face
Chorus
-
Cast me off one day
-
to lose my Inhi- bitions
Sit like a lap dog on a matron's knee
-
Wear the nails of your feet
Solo
/ - - / - - / - - / -
I woke up the house,
stumbled in sideways
The lights went on
and everybody screamed sur- prise
The savage review,
it left me gasping
But it warms my heart
to see that you can do it too
Chorus
-
Total sur- render,
-
your touch is so tender
Your skin is like water
on a burning beach
-
And it brings me re- lief,
-
and it brings me re- lief,
- -
and it brings me re- lief,
- - - - - - - - -
