The Nail
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I came from Minnesota with a nail in my head
I said, "Trust me", to a woman that I met
I held my only temple to this angel as I bled
I felt lucky when we found her angel bed
I dreamt that times had changed
I'm lost today
At night I'm on a highway
Racing from the truth
A nail in my head
I came to California with a snake in my breast
I said, "Trust me", to resistance that I met
I held her only temple to the thing in my chest
I felt lucky when the evening let us rest
