    Nails In My Feet (Neil Finn)
    LYRICS

    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 persuasion
    like a knock on the door
    when there's ten or more things to do
    Who is that calling?
    you my companion
    run to the water on a burning beach
    and it brings me relief

    Pass through the walls
    to find my intentions
    circle 'round in a strange, hypnotic state
    I look into space
    there is no connection
    a million points of light
    and a conversation I can't face

    Cast me off one day
    to lose my inhibition
    sit like a lap dog on a matron's knee
    wear the nails on your feet

    I woke up the house
    stumbled in sideways
    the lights went on and everybody screamed "Surprise!"
    the savage review
    it left me gasping
    but it warms my heart to see that you can do it too

    Total surrender
    your touch is so tender
    your skin is like water on a burning beach
    and it brings me relief

    Like a night in your mind
    it brings me relief
    in the back door
    under the stars
    and the scenery is my floor
    in the back room
    under the stars
    and the scenery is my floor
