Under Your Fingernails

Cranes building Cranes building
Cranes building buildings
Don't look down on the floor
Cause you'll sweep it once more
Just to understand
Dust is not dust
It has turned into rust
That forever remains
Under your fingernails

Train coming train going
A train leaves the station
If you were left behind
Take a look to both sides
Just to understand
Your path was the right path
You've chosen it well
And the dust will remain
Under your fingernails

I hear the sounds of the city
But I can no longer hear the birds
My my the sunset's so pretty
But we'll sink under clouds that won't rain
And this song will forever remain
Under your fingernails

Mole digs a hole
It won't lead to forever
It will lead to a sight
That you'll rather be blind
Then to ever see
You don't have to look back
It will just hurt your neck
And this song will remain
Under your fingernails

I hear the sounds of the city
But I can no longer hear the birds
My my the sunset's so pretty
But we'll sink under clouds that won't rain
And this song

I hear the sounds of the city
But I can no longer hear the birds
My my the sunset's so pretty
But we'll sink under clouds that won't rain
And this song will forever remain
