Hammer - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

There's a heat in the pavement, my mercury's raising

Don't know if it's love or if it's ovulation

When you're holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail

The mist from the fountain is kissing my neck

The liquid crystal is in my grip

Anyone with a snake tongue, I show 'em the chambers of my heart

Now I know you don't deal much in love and affection

But I really do think there could be a connection

I burn and I sing and I scheme and I dance

Some days, I'm a woman, some days, I'm a man, oh

I might have been born again

I'm ready to feel like I don't have thе answers

There's pеace in the madness over our heads

Let it carry me u-u-u-u-up

Today, I'll go to Canal Street, they're piercing my ears

I'm making a wish when the needle goes in

Take an aura picture, read it and tell me who I am (Show me who I am)

Now I know you don't deal much in love and affection

But I really do think you can make an exception

It's a beautiful life, so why play truant?

I jerk tears and they pay me to do it, oh

I might have been born again

I'm ready to feel like I don't have the answers

There's peace in the madness over our heads

Let it carry me u-u-u-u-up

Ah, ah, ah

Let it break me down till I'm just a breath

Till I'm just a voice living in your head

It's a fucked-up world, been to hell and back

But I've sent you a postcard from the edge

The edge

Mm, oh
