Story Behind The Song
It was about my relationship in Chicago with a girl... and I found her name ..."Underneath the windowsill ...in the alley of the Earl of Old Town Pub" in Chicago where Steve Goodman and John Prime played ...1976...and so did I...
There's a name with covered up with a piece of gum.
I stuck it with my thumb.

Inter personal reflection of a bad relationship ...about the disconnection between two people who were in love ...only to discover ...Like a robber in the dark. You're the blood that rules the shark.

Lyrics
Hammer In My Face: LYRICS KMF Muzik
Verse
Conversations in my head ...I'm tossing back-and-forth ...can't sleep alone in bed.
I feel like I am ...underneath the veil of laughter sneaking up inside
Something I'm not sure of
Something I can't hide.
And if peace like a river ...you and I are ice ...frozen up in pieces ...waiting for the light.
Pre-Chorus
There you go again swirl fingers ...playing with your hair ...looking out the window.
All the whispers in my ear ...can't make him disappear.
Chorus
Like a robber in the dark. You are the blood that rules the shark.
You're the glamour in the lace like a hammer in my face.
I don't know if you and I will ever see eye to eye ....eye to eye ...eye to eye
...you're not the same.
Verse
Tell me you're not satisfied, and the world is getting smaller ...making room to grow
Thought you'd like to know ...don't tell me you can't hear the things I want to say to you
Your ears are full of fear. You might learn something new.
Underneath the windowsill ...in the alley of the Earl of Old Town Pub
There's a name covered up with a piece of gum.
I stuck it with my thumb.
Pre-Chorus
There you go again ...swirl fingers ...playing with your hair ...looking out the window.
All the whispers in my ear ...can't make them disappear.
Chorus
Like a robber in the dark. You're the blood that rules the shark.
You're the glamour in the lace ...Like a hammer in my face.
Don't know if you and I will ever see eye to eye ....eye to eye ...eye to eye ...you're not the same one I knew
Like a robber in the dark. You're the blood that rules the shark.
You're the glamour in the lace ...like a hammer in my face.
don't know if you and I will ever see eye for an eye ....eye for an eye ...eye for an eye ...you're not the same one I knew.
