BENT NAIL SYNDROME
(R. Protrudi/A. Resnick) GEMA
I was very young when I first found out
Her hopes were high 'til I reeled it out
She made the first move, to check out my goods
Her face turned white
I had a feeling' it would (eww!)
I said I'm sorry baby
You got the wisdom
Courtesy of the bent nail syndrome
She said, "See ya later - freak of nature!"
Bent nail syndrome, you just don't play fair
I go to take a whiz
Instead of here it's over there
Bent nail syndrome, oh man I could shout
There's no way in, so there's no way out
No way out now!
Mister specialist, can you cure me fast?
It's been a long, hard life, flying' at half mast
Bent nail syndrome, it's worse than the rest
With the head pointing' east and the shaft pointing' west
Bent nail syndrome, oh man I could shout
There's no way in, so there's no way out
OK baby, so I lied
It's just a little harder - to get inside
I got the bent nail syndrome
You don't know what it's like!
It's like a head on collision
Between a stud and a dyke
So now I'm all alone, I got a plot
I said, "Hello Mr. Ripley... believe it or not."
