Right on the Nail Songtext
von The Cavedogs

There′s a chill in morning till sparks ignite
For the one who'll make it tonight
There′s a flag to show his regard for right
And it waves as he's set alight

Those tired steps on the dance floor
The change is more than a dream
And through this miracle of ours
You watch him cause a scene

It's a common ritual, all eyes alight
With the fame of early demise
Thirty seconds later the supper chime
Turn it down and wait for prime time
The screen that glows all around you
An image, one we′ve all seen
But even if there were sounds there
Don′t wonder what they mean

You will be right on the nail (cause a scene)
You will be right on the nail (cause a scene)
And it won't matter anyway


Through another door and a similar time
By the words strewn about the night
While the piles of paper devour the light
Wage a war with the radio′s tide

Those tiny steps on the dance floor
The change is hardly a dream

Through the fragments and your scores
You watch them cause a scene

You will be right on the nail (cause a scene)
You will be right on the nail (cause a scene)
And it won't matter anyway

Fast asleep, your head draped in the front page
The droppings of the world out in your cage
Everywhere there′s a war going on
And you're wasting the bulk of your time

All those tired steps all around you
The change is to change your jeans

A harder fight arouse you
If there′s action cause a scene

You will be right on the nail (cause a scene)
You will be right on the nail (cause a scene)
And it won't matter anyway


Cause a scene
You will be right on the nail
So does in your dreams
You will be right on the nail
Cause a scene
And it won't matter anyway

There′s a chill in morning, all eyes shut tight
For the ones who′ll make it tonight
