Up the nails

Guided By Voices


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
