Hammerless Nail

Avoidance is my stock and trade
I do it almost every day
'Til the days go by in a haze of okays

Lo-fi covers my every flaw
Yeah, I never really learned to hem my haws
Maybe, I never learned anything

Maybe a war is what I need
A good haircut or a death in the family
I can't nail down just what is missing
The hammer's on it's way

My expectations ain't so great
When you wear 'em like a heavy weight
And you wait around expecting to wait

So here I stand, yeah, I'm the nail
When the hit comes down I'm available
I'll be the one with the hard, hard head

But when it comes, what will I say?
You just might get what you ask for, they say
I'll stick my head in the air and I'll proudly say
The hammer's on it's way

The hammer's comin' down someday
Yeah, I know the hammer's on it's way
The hammer's comin' someday
Yeah, I know the hammer's on it's way

Avoidance is my stock and trade
I do it almost everyday
'Til the days go by in a haze of okays

But the future's always bearing down
Guess it's time to get to tearing down
And building myself all over again, yeah

Maybe a war is what I need
A good haircut or a death in the family
I can't nail down just what is missing
The hammer's on it's way

On it's way
On it's way
Yeah
