Like a Nail When It's Bent - Walter Egan

Useless and spent, like a nail when it’s bent

Just about put to bed

Like a book that’s been read

Uncertain and vexed don’t know what’s coming next

I’m a leaf in the wind

Don’t know where I’ll land

I can’t excuse it

I feel so corrupt

Even my music

Just can’t get me up

I can’t figure out what it’s all been about

Useless and spent, like a nail when it’s bent

Maybe I’m wrong, maybe life’s like a song

Though the record’s been played

The melody stayed
