Lyrics

Morning bell's the call Moving down the wall They hear you in the hall a-hittin' Knocking in the nails Every sixteen inches without fail The grid, the quit, forbidden Thinking all your thoughts Wondering if you ought To get a little spot together Someplace all your own Where you can be alone For now, but not forever Moving down the rows Heaven knows The anger and the fear Lay your hammer down There's Nothing left to pound in here Next you met a she Who just could be The chaos and the juncture All the things you do Lit in light anew As you push into a structure The swinging starts The broken hearts The grinding of the gears Lay the hammer down There's nothing left to pound in here Blister form then blister burst Wrap it in a bandage Grab the worn handle Swing until you're calloused All the little smiles Single-file Such worthwhile potential Grab 'em by the cuff Are they tough Enough to be essential? Should I chisel more Or should I just adore The shape that others cheer? Lay the hammer down There's nothing left to pound in here Lay the hammer down There's nothing left to pound in here
