Black Fingernails, Red Wine Lyrics by Eskimo Joe

The World Repeats Itself Somehow: The Best of Eskimo Joe

2006

[Verse 1]
Black Fingernails, red wine
I wanna make you all mine
A lot of people underground
You wanna get there, you gotta go straight down
[Hook]
Oh-oo-Oh
Straight down
Oh-oo-Oh
[Verse 2]
There's a culture everywhere
Smoke clouds hang in the air
It's so loud, can't hear you talk
You and I should take a walk downtown
[Hook]
Oh-oo-Oh
Straight down
Oh-oo-Oh
Downtown
Oh-oo-Oh
Straight down
Oh-oo-Oh
[Chorus]
The argument over God continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
At the ground
All of us stand and point our fingers
[Hook]
Oh-oo-Oh
Straight down
Oh-oo-Oh
[Verse 3]
Red letter day, black heart
It's gonna tear you all apart
So loud, can't hear you call
You and I are gonna fall straight down
[Hook]
Oh-oo-Oh
Straight down
Oh-oo-Oh
Downtown
Oh-oo-Oh
Straight down
Oh-oo-Oh
[Chorus]
The argument over God continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
At the ground
The argument overall continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
[Hook]
Oh-oo-Oh
Straight down
Oh-oo-Oh
Straight down
Oh-oo-Oh
Straight down
Oh-oo-Oh
[Verse 4]
Black Fingernails, red wine
I wanna make you all mine
A lot of people underground
You wanna get there, you gotta go straight down
[Chorus]
The argument over God continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
At the ground
The argument overall continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
[Hook]
Oh-oo-Oh
Straight down
Oh-oo-Oh
Straight down
Oh-oo-Oh
Straight down
Oh-oo-Oh
