Fingernails to Claws

why do you talk that way

why you so stuck on money

now it's the top of the world

but it's beneath the girl I love

you used to speak my name

and you filled it up

and you filled my name up

filled it up with your spirit

did he raise a fire

did you roll up in flames

turn to black and yellow

did you think of me at all

and how we cut ourselves

on all the sharp tongues in town

when you thought that I could

never let you down

my baby died in North Carolina

when she traded me in at the

Newbourne City diner

remember when you thought that I

could never let you down

everyone'll let you down

I'm just an empty hand

and a swollen belly

born upside down

guess I'll die before my time

can't I love you madly

when it's not that way

when it's not the other way

not the other way around

c'mon and walk me home

with your blessed body

paint your name on my lips

and the rest comes naturally

did you scare yourself

and hide that face in the ground

when you thought that I could

never let you down

my baby died in North Carolina

when she traded me in at the

Newbourne City diner

remember when you thought that I

could never let you down

everyone'll let you down...

all good things, and all the bad things

they all fall down

everyone'll let you down...
