In My Clutch
Nina Kinert Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shimmer, shimmer down the hall
You knew we were gonna call you
Though we've seen pictures of Mars before
Head on head on down the road
You knew I was gonna fall for you
Though I've read all the things before

But as little as I've missed
I've never seen you dance in the rain
I've never felt your kiss on my marble armour
I've never seen you dance in the rain

Lead on, lead on to believe
nothing would I find to leave you
playing Venus In Furs before
Little by little boy get behind
Gets in the sun, you let it blind you
Don't be afraid of things from before

And what have you missed
I've never seen you dance in the rain
And I've never felt your kiss through my marble armour
No, I've never seen you dance in the rain

(It resolves, we dissolve)

Caught in the eye of the maker, of the storm
Caught in the act, and in the eye of my maker

Coulda never had a dream
with colors so vibrant and extreme as you,
when i painted pictures of Mars before
Lead on lead on down the plains
I might be a case of being trapped by the chains of you
Oh, how I licked all them scars before

But whatever I can miss -
I wanna see you dance in the rain
I wanna feel your kiss through my marble armour
I wanna see you dance in the rain

Caught in the eye of the maker, of the storm
Caught in the act, and in the eye of my maker

(It resolves, we dissolve)

Trapped and under the scrutiny of a powerful force


Caught in the act, and in the eye of my maker
Caught in the midst of action, being observed by my creator
