“Nails Like God” is the second-to-last song on the record The House With No Doorbell. It is nearing the end and begins leading into the following song, “Scarecrow.”, with the more somber and tender vibe to end the record with.
[Intro]
And our eyes meet on the floor
As the bullets ring out above me
Are you listening God
It's me the clown
[Pre-Chorus]
I am afraid to die
I am afraid to live
I am afraid to fly
I am just a kid
[Chorus]
I am tough I've got nails like God
Fell asleep in an iron lung
Made believe morning after but
The deed had already been done
When he says that he doesn't care
Don't you think that he might just care
When he says that he doesn't mind
Don't you think that he might just mind
[Pre-Chorus]
I am afraid to die
I am afraid to live
I am afraid to fly
I am just a kid
[Chorus]
I am tough I've got nails like God
Fell asleep in an iron lung
Made believe morning after but
The deed had already been done
When he says that he doesn't care
Don't you think that he might just care
When he says that he doesn't mind
Don't you think that he might just mind
[Break]

[Outro]
Are you kidding me
Don't you ever think
Are you mad at me
I am sorry
Are you kidding me
Don't you ever think
Are you mad at me
I am sorry
Are you kidding me
Don't you ever think
Are you mad at me
I am sorry
Are you kidding me
Don't you ever think
Are you mad at me
I am sorry
I am sorry
I am sorry
I am sorry
I am sorry
