Vic Chesnutt - Thumbtack lyrics

Take a lightbulb from the closetand replace the one above the faucetscrape the whisker from my facenick my lip in pointless haste

Take a magic marker blackdarken a spot on the mapof a county on the coastwhere I was born out of a ghost

Underneath the ceiling fancontemplate a master planbreathe a sigh of recognitionfor a childhood superstition

Push a thumbtack in the wallpierce the picture I did drawit's a graphic portrait from my youthit hurts my heart this forced review
