Hammer

There's a heat in the pavement, my mercury's raising
Don't know if it's love or if it's ovulation
When you're holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail
The mist from the fountain is kissing my neck
The liquid crystal is in my grip
Anyone with a snake tongue,
I show 'em the chambers of my heart

Now I know you don't deal much in love and affection
But I really do think there could be a connection
I run and I sing and I skip and I dance
Some days I'm a woman, some days I'm a man, oh

I might have been born again
I'm ready to feel like I don't have the answers
Thеre's peace in thе madness over our heads
Let it carry me oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, on

Today I'll go to Canal Street,
They're piercing my ears
I'm making a wish when the needle goes in
Take an aura picture, read it
And tell me who I am (Tell me who I am)

Now I know you don't deal much in love and affection
But I really do think you can make an exception
It's a beautiful life, so I play truant
I jerk tears and they pay me to do it, oh

I might have been born again
I'm ready to feel like I don't have the answers
There's peace in the madness over our heads
Let it carry me oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, on

Let it break me down till I'm just a wreck
Till I'm just a voice living in your head
It's a fucked-up world (Ah), been to hell and back
But I've sent you a postcard from the edge
The edge
