Nickel And Lead
Our house, undone by flood and drought Our house, frozen, thawed, then burnt down Our house, the sirens of cops echo its doubt Our home Where I'm unknown None of it reason why I roam So scared to speak or turn another phrase Hope you’re well-fed But where is your head? What's gone to your head? Nickel and lead Nickel and lead Homemade, red-blooded city kids unfazed Tickle and ingrain Fences built from cityscapes Homemadе, stripping like lead-chip paint Our home in mеntal brace from old nickel necklet chains And now it seems we're cut from the same cloth Won’t tie you off Words in your head poison the bread Nickel and lead Nickel and lead You could be loved My girl, empathic and pure of heart My aim is also true I'll be here when you get through This self-proposed exile from our home A failure to lead a family in grief through legacy bends Nickel and lead Nickel and lead Aus Songtexte Mania
