Letra de Nail It Down

Nail it down, nail it down
Come back home and just nail it down
Yeah, you can't get nothing up off the ground
If someone don't come along and nail it down
He says he knows, he says he knows
But he's never even been where his mouth goes
Well it's all the same, that vicious zeal
But how does what's false apply to what is real?
And why's it gotta be a mystery?
You gotta lay it out
Like thunderheads creeping down the hill
And pretty soon everyone gets ill
But I slip the net, being tall and thin
And pretty soon the dark turns to dim
I can see a little clearer now
You got to nail it down
Listen here, listen here
Tomorrow is the first day of the year
So cut the work that can't be done
You're either cutting all that work or you won't finish none
You gotta lay your tools out
Pick up one
All storms still stir behind a big sea wall
What's the point of something that you can't recall?
You gotta give it time, give it time
Or it'll go to rack and ruin and you'll lose your mind
You'll either learn to swim then
Or you'll be left behind
And I'll try anything
Anything I think is good
And I'll do anything
Anything I think I should
And I'll try anything
If it seems clearer at first light
And I'll do anything
Before it's vanished from my sight
Her hair was wet, her shoes were damp
And as she traveled on, the weather licked her like a stamp
She said "I don't grasp the way you think sometimes
You're like a star that's died but hasn't lost its shine"
Well my head is hollow as she turns to go
Nail it down
Yeah, nail it down, nail it down
You gotta come back home or just nail it down
Well you can't get nothing up off the ground
If someone don't come along and nail it down
You break one law you break all laws
Nail it down
And I'll try anything
Anything within a breath
And I'll do anything
You know you would not want to pine to death
And I'll try anything
Anything that's bought or sold
And I'll try anything
Even if something that you cannot hold
And I'll do anything
Said the old man of the sea
And I'll try anything
If you would only get along with me
And I've been everywhere
And I've done everything to do
But I'll try anything
If I could only get along with you
