Guided By Voices Up The Nails Lyrics

Up The Nails Lyrics

ten fingers consistent 

a “must have” situation

how can you believe


that patience brings reward?

Up the nails with trappings

little games and smaller worlds

What gentle fingers can feel

mankind can manipulate

all thumbs and needles

quilting the
eye-patch vision

but how can you believe

that patience brings
reward?

Up the nails with trappings

little games and smaller
worlds

All fingers pointing 

and many times you've been fooled

up the nails with superior secrets 

you priceless metal flake

but
how can you believe 

that patience brings rewards 

Up the nails with
trappings

little games and smaller worlds
