King Of Nails Lyrics - Sparklehorse

The toothless kiss of skeletons 

And summer hail 

I'm the king of nails 

I drink my liquor from the palm 

Of a child who spoke in tongues 

And smelled like sun 

 

Give all your leaves 

To the ghosts in the trees 

To sink or to shine 

The nails are all mine 

 

And blood was rushing up the stairs 

I shut my eyes and killed the cock 

When the sun came knocking 

Oh to taste the salty oil 

Of your chest and on your eyes 

When the sting is on the rise 

 

Sleep in the fire 

With snakes I have sired 

To sink or to shine 

The nails are all mine 

 

I drink my liquor from the palm 

Of a child who smelled like sun 

And spoke in tongues 

The toothless kiss of skeletons 

And summer hail 

I'm the king of nails 

 

Give all your leaves 

To the ghosts in the trees 

To sink or to shine 

The nails are all mine 

 

Sleep in the fire 

With snakes I have sired 

To sink or to shine 

The nails are all mine
