Sparklehorse – King of Nails (Official Video)

Sparklehorse – “King Of Nails” From the album ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ (2001) Listen Here: Directed by Keeley Gould LYRICS The toothless kiss of skeletons And summer hail I’m the king of nails I drink my liquor from the palm of a child who spoke in tongues And smelled like sun Keep all your leaves And ghosts in the bees To sink or to shine The nails are all mine And blood was rushing up the stairs I shut my eyes and killed the cock When the sun came knocking Oh to taste the salty oil Of your chest and on your eyes When the sting is on the rise Sleep in the fire With snakes I have sired To sink or to shine The nails are all mine I drink my liquor from the palm of a child who smelled like sun who spoke in tongues The toothless kiss of skeletons in summer hail I’m the king of nails Keep all your leaves Ghosts in the bees To sink or to shine The nails are all mine Sleep in the fire With snakes I have sired To sink or to shine The nails are all mine ______________________ FOLLOW SPARKLEHORSE ▶ Store: ▶ Website: ▶ Facebook: ▶ Instagram: ▶ Twitter: ▶ Spotify: ▶ Apple: ▶ Amazon: #sparklehorse #itsawonderfullife
