Hammer And Nail Lyrics - Lights Out - Bishop Allen

How long do you have to hammer the nail? 

How long do you have to hammer the nail? 

Before you finally figure out if you succeeded or failed 

How long? 

How long? 

One day 

I know I'm going to kick the curse 

One day 

I know I'm going to kick the curse 

But talking about it now is only making it worse 

One day 

One day 

Can I count on a change? 

A crisis of faith to come and save me? 

When the work isn't done , the calluses come, what what then? 

Trying to chase perpetual grace but there isn't a trace 

When my head lands heavy on the pillow 

Wake up and I start again 

How long do you have to hammer the nail? 

How long do you have to hammer the nail? 

Before you finally figure out that you've been building a jail 

How long? 

How long? 

All the liquor in town, tried to turn it around 

Feeling lucky 

But the blistering sun, the tip of my tongue 

Feeling small 

Then the shadow was saved 

The power betrayed 

I'm only getting further at the end of the day 

Is there a difference looking over that wall? 

How long do you have to hammer the nail? 

How long do you have to hammer the nail? 

How long (how long) 

do you have to hammer the nail? 

How long (how long) 

do you have to hammer the nail? 

How long (how long) 

How long (how long) 

How long (how long) 

How long (how long)
