Hammers And Nails

There’s a stranger in my car now
Showing me the strange part of town
Stop light, bottle brown
I woke up this morning
Holding hammers and nails
The same place I left them the night before
Hammers and nails
My brain’s broken
I don’t know you any more
I woke up this morning
With hammers and nails
They call it the banker’s club
But you never see a banker drinking
Just a stranger and me
Sharing one personality
Ooh hoo hooo
I’ve had some dreams
But they’ve all gone to work
Rain drops make a street girl pure
If I stand on this corner
And look down the block
It almost feels like this city’s real to me
How well I know
The hollow sound
Of empty towns
Right turn on Markham
And up four blocks
A rain cloud’s shaped like a heart attack
Oh you’re such a confusing girl
Our eyes met cos your lips were there
Midnight moves the sky
Midnight moves the sky
Midnight moves the sky
She brought her bad love
She bought me bad dope
Put a chicken in the bath tub
Just to watch it sink
She said she’d never mind me thinking
And then she never did
And if I were a banker
I’d go make you a dollar
Thinking’s got the best of me
I won’t remember what I ever started for
What I started for
What I started for
