Hammer Lyrics by Lorde

[Verse 1: Lorde]
There's a heat in the pavement, my mercury's raising
Don't know if it's love or if it's ovulation
When you're holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail
The mist from the fountain is kissing my neck
The liquid crystal is in my grip
Anyone with a snake tongue
I show 'em the chambers of my heart

[Pre-Chorus: Lorde]
Now I know you don't deal much in love and affection
But I really do think there could be a connection
I burn and I sing and I scheme and I dance
Some days, I'm a woman, some days, I'm a man, oh

[Chorus: Lorde]
I might have been born again
I'm ready to feel like I don't have thе answers
There's pеace in the madness over our heads
Let it carry me o-o-o-on

[Verse 2: Lorde]
Today, I'll go to Canal Street, they're piercing my ears
I'm making a wish when the needle goes in
Take an aura picture, read it and tell me who I am
(Show me who I am)

[Pre-Chorus: Lorde]
Now I know you don't deal much in love and affection
But I really do think you can make an exception
It's a beautiful life, so I play truant
I jerk tears and they pay me to do it, oh

[Chorus: Lorde]
I might have been born again
I'm ready to feel like I don't have the answers
There's peace in the madness over our heads
Let it carry me o-o-o-o-on

[Outro: Lorde]
Let it break me down till I'm just a wreck
Till I'm just a voice living in your head
It's a fucked-up world, been to hell and back
But I've sent you a postcard from the edge
The edge
Mmm, oh
Oh
