Human Hands

I've been talking to the wall

And it's been answering me

Oh darling how i miss you

I'm just the mere shadow of

My former selfishness

I crave the silhouette of your kiss

With only the blue light of the tv on

Lip reading threats and false alarms

There's a boy somewhere

Holding hands with himself

And a girl in a window on the reeperbarn

Whenever i put my foot in my mouth

And you begin to doubt

That it's you that i'm dreaming about

Do i have to draw you a diagram

All i ever want is just to fall into

Your human hands

With the kings and queens of

The dance hall craze

Checkmate in three moves

In your heyday

But the girls don't listen to your line anymore

Now you're part of someone else

On the factory floor

And you still say "wheres the action "

Now you manufacture happiness

And get sold on the cheap

For someone's satisfaction

Whenever i put my foot

In my mouth and you begin to doubt

That it's you that i'm dreaming about

Do i have to draw you a diagram

All i ever want is just to fall into

Your human hands

All you toy soldiers and scaremongers

Are you living

In this world sometimes i wonder

In between saying you've seen too much

And saying you've seen it all before

Tighter and tighter i hold you tightly

You know i love you more than slightly

Although i've never said it like this before

Whenever i put my foot in my mouth

And you begin to doubt

That it's you that i'm dreaming about

Do i have to draw you a diagram

All i ever want is just to fall into your human hands

All i ever want is just to fall into your human hands
