Nail it down, nail it down Come back home and just nail it down Yeah, you cant get nothing up off the ground If someone dont come along and nail it down He says he knows, he says he knows But hes never even been where his mouth goes Well its all the same, that vicious zeal But how does whats false apply to what is real? And whys it gotta be a mystery? You gotta lay it out Like thunderheads creeping down the hill And pretty soon everyone gets ill But I slip the net, being tall and thin And pretty soon the dark turns to dim I can see a little clearer now You got to nail it down Listen here, listen here Tomorrow is the first day of the year So cut the work that cant be done Youre either cutting all that work or you wont finish none You gotta lay your tools out Pick up one All storms still stir behind a big sea wall Whats the point of something that you cant recall? You gotta give it time, give it time Or itll go to rack and ruin and youll lose your mind Youll either learn to swim then Or youll be left behind And Ill try anything Anything I think is good And Ill do anything Anything I think I should And Ill try anything If it seems clearer at first light And Ill do anything Before its vanished from my sight Her hair was wet, her shoes were damp And as she traveled on, the weather licked her like a stamp She said I dont grasp the way you think sometimes Youre like a star thats died but hasnt lost its shine Well my head is hollow as she turns to go Nail it down Yeah, nail it down, nail it down You gotta come back home or just nail it down Well you cant get nothing up off the ground If someone dont come along and nail it down You break one law you break all laws Nail it down And Ill try anything Anything within a breath And Ill do anything You know you would not want to pine to death And Ill try anything Anything thats bought or sold And Ill try anything Even if something that you cannot hold And Ill do anything Said the old man of the sea And Ill try anything If you would only get along with me And Ive been everywhere And Ive done everything to do But Ill try anything If I could only get along with you
nail, anything, try, ta, along
