Show Me How To Live Lyrics

Artist: Audioslave
Album: Audioslave

And with the early dawn
Moving right along
I couldn't buy and eyeful of sleep
And in the aching night under satellites
I was not received
Built with stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure or is this a disease

Chorus
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live (x2)

And in the after birth
On the quiet earth
Let the stains remind you
You thought you made a man
You better think again
Before my role defines you

Chorus
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live (x2)

And in your waiting hands
I will land
And roll out of my skin
And in your final hours I will stand
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
Ready to begin

Chorus
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live (x2)

Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live

@saider66 How on earth can you think that says cradle? It sounds more like hand or head.
Anyway, excellent song that makes me want to drive around like a maniac. (do not try that at home kids, its dangerous)
