King of Nails Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
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 sunGive all your leaves
To the ghosts in the trees
To sink or to shine
The nails are all mineAnd 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 riseSleep in the fire
With snakes I have sired
To sink or to shine
The nails are all mineI drink my liquor from the palm
Of a child who smelled like sun
And spoke in tongues
The toothless kiss of skeletons
And summer hail
I'm the king of nailsGive all your leaves
To the ghosts in the trees
To sink or to shine
The nails are all mineSleep in the fire
With snakes I have sired
To sink or to shine
The nails are all mine

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Sparklehorse was an American alternative rock band formed in 1995 and led by Mark Linkous (September 9, 1962 - March 6, 2010), a Richmond, Virginia native and last of a long line of southern coalminers. Linkous recorded much of Sparklehorse's material in his home studio, and his Southern Gothic vision guided Sparklehorse. Drummer and multi-instrumentalist Scott Minor was a frequent collaborator.
