lyrics

I was stuck inside a bottle
like a schooner built on the inside
nowhere left to go but deep into the ocean
to the bottom of the ocean sinking like a broken bottle
I was stuck inside a mirror
like a reflection stuck on the inside
nowhere left to go but deep into the mirror
to the bottom of the mirror looking for my own reflection

if you see a hammer
if you see a hammer
if you see a hammer
if you see a

I was looking for the hammer
like a builder working on the inside
nowhere left to go but deep into the building
to the basement of the building searching for the falling hammer
I am answering the hammer
like a monster waiting on the inside
nowhere left to go but deep into the monster
to the belly of the monster falling like the secret hammer

if you see a hammer
if you see a hammer
if you see a hammer
if you see a

I was stuck inside a bottle
like some liquor sitting on the inside
nowhere left to go but deep into the bottle
to the bottom of the bottle sitting like some stinking liquor
if you want to hear my answer
I am ready if you want to hear my answer
but first you gotta see you gotta feel you gotta be
gotta see the falling hammer gotta be the falling hammer

if you see a hammer
if you see a hammer
if you see a hammer
if you see a hammer
