Guided By Voices Lyrics

Up The Nails Lyrics

ten fingers consistent
a “must have” situation
how can you believe
that patience brings reward?
Up the nails with trappings
little games and smaller worlds
What gentle fingers can feel
mankind can manipulate
all thumbs and needles
quilting the eye-patch vision
but how can you believe
that patience brings reward?
Up the nails with trappings
little games and smaller worlds
All fingers pointing
and many times you’ve been fooled
up the nails with superior secrets
you priceless metal flake
but how can you believe
that patience brings rewards
Up the nails with trappings
little games and smaller worlds
