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 burn, and I sing, and I scheme, 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
There's peace in the madness over our heads
Let it carry me o-o-o-o-on

Huh-ah-ah
Huh-ah-ah
Huh-ah-ah

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
(Show 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 o-o-o-o-on

Huh-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Huh-uh-ah
Huh-ah-ah
Huh-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Huh-ah-ah

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

Mmm
Mm, mm, mm
