Lyrics

Dirty Nails

[Intro]

There are many kinds of minds

Many different kinds of minds

[Verse 1]

But mine is the mind

Shatterproof mind, shatter shatterproof mind

Mine is the mind

Chicory mind, Poka Poka remind

Mine is the mind

Shatterproof mind, shatter shatterproof mind

[Chorus]

I've got dirty nails and I am scratching at your back door

I've got dirty nails and I am thumping at your bedroom door

[Verse 2]

I want to slice up your life (slice, slice)

I want to slice up your life (slice, slice)

I want to slice up your life (slice, slice)

I want to slice up your life (slice, slice)

[Chorus]

I've got dirty nails and I am scratching at your back door

I've got dirty nails and I am thumping at your bedroom door

I've got dirty nails and I am scratching at door (door, door, door...)
