I know I'll never find that screw

Intro

Verse

There's a flat-pack bookcase

I'm building on the floor

And I almost had you

Secured into the door

Now I'm crawling on the carpet

Without a single clue

For I know I'll never find that screw

Verse

There is always one spare

In ev'ry box, they say

But the furniture shop

Must have left you out today

I could search the whole rug over

Until my life is through

But I know I'll never find that screw.

Bridge

It's a deep, shag carpet

With a pile so wide

When you bounced off the desk

You ran off to hide, off to hide

Verse

If I bought a strong magnet

My chances would be small

I could sweep across the floorboards

And find nothing at all

If I cannot find your threads, dear

I don't know what I'd do

For I know I'll never find that screw.

Solo

Bridge

It's a deep, dark carpet

With a pile so wide

With a tiny little "ping!" sound

You ran off to hide, off to hide

Verse

The hardware store is empty

The metric aisle is bare

And this proprietary fitting

Can't be purchased anywhere

If I try to use a zip-tie

The whole thing snaps in two

So I know I'll have to find another screw.

Outro

Find another screw...

Find another screw...
