Nail Polish Songtext
von Derek Webb

Going out′s like a war zone
I hope everybody comes home
You never know which neighbor's gonna turn on you
You can′t judge em by a flag cause if you do

Oh it's the pot and the kettle black
What's the difference when the attack is at your door
And your body is your one defense
You gotta draw away the fire from your friends

And it′s just so easy to see
When you look at me
Oh, I can read that energy
And your secret′s written on your face
And all it takes is just a little bit of nail polish

So I'm a worst-case futurist
Whether language or with a fist
I always say the best threats self-identify
When you know a trick that always draws the eye


And it′s just so easy to see
When you look at me
Oh, I can read that energy
And your secret's written on your face
And all it takes is a little bit of nail polish

And like a prize fight
You try and win it in the ring, oh
You could wind up dead
′Cause any ally or decent father knows
You know you gotta plan ahead
And be brave and pick a shade
And always be the first one through the door


Oh it's just so easy to see
When you look at me
Oh, I can read that energy
(your secret′s out)
Oh it's just so easy to see
When you look at me
Oh, I can read that energy
(You're not safe, now)
Oh, it′s just so easy to see
When you look at me
Oh, I can feel that energy
And your secret′s written on your face
And all it takes is a little bit of nail polish
