Sweet Exile
I'll keep waiting for your hammer to fail
You keep shaking your bag of nails
Shaking my tail 'til I get out of jail
You keep shaking your bag of nails
It's very reminiscent of some RSO (Rise for sure). I keep thinking of Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer. But the damn song will not leave my head.

Thank you! I wasn't sure I was hearing it right and I couldn't figure out "I'll keep waiting for your hammer to fail" at all
Between the verse and the "exile" chorus, I'm thinking it's about the band; but it's hard to tell without hearing the full song. Here's what I got in the verse:
Get outta line (?); don't turn back
Waiting for a ???
I'm grabbing my gun, leaving my pride
I'm really gonna miss you while I kiss you goodbye
The rearview mirror don't have to lie
I'm really gonna miss you while I kiss you goodbye
Really gonna miss you while I kiss you goodbye
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Not being able to hear what he sings before Norm picks up, I'm not sure about that first phrase. And you'll be my hero if you can tell me what he's "waiting for" in that 2nd line?
I agree it's an earworm. Last night it was driving me nuts bc I couldn't get it out of my head and every time it got to the repeated "Really gonna miss you while I kiss you goodbye..." it would fade into the BeeGees' (
"ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive...")
The chorus reminds me of something by Aerosmith but I can't pin it down.
