Fingernails To Claws

why do you talk that way
 why you so stuck on money
 now it's the top of the world
 but it's beneath the girl I love
 you used to speak my name
 and you filled it up
 and you filled my name up
 filled it up with your spirit
 did he raise a fire
 did you roll up in flames
 turn to black and yellow
 did you think of me at all
 and how we cut ourselves
 on all the sharp tongues in town
 when you thought that I could
 never let you down
 my baby died in North Carolina
 when she traded me in at the
 Newbourne City diner
 remember when you thought that I
 could never let you down
 everyone'll let you down
 I'm just an empty hand
 and a swollen belly
 born upside down
 guess I'll die before my time
 can't I love you madly
 when it's not that way
 when it's not the other way
 not the other way around
 c'mon and walk me home
 with your blessed body
 paint your name on my lips
 and the rest comes naturally
 did you scare yourself
 and hide that face in the ground
 when you thought that I could
 never let you down
 my baby died in North Carolina
 when she traded me in at the
 Newbourne City diner
 remember when you thought that I
 could never let you down
 everyone'll let you down...
 all good things, and all the bad things
 they all fall down
 everyone'll let you down...
