Human Hands

In between saying you've seen too much

And a girl in a window on the Reeperbarn
Do I have to draw you a diagram?
On the factory floor and you still say "Where's the action?"
Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt
All you toy soldiers and scaremongers
That it's you that I'm dreaming about
With the kings and queens of the dance hall craze

Now you manufacture happiness
And saying you've seen it all before
In between saying you've seen too much
There's a boy somewhere holding hands with himself
Checkmate in three moves in your heyday
All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands
But the girls don't listen to your line anymore

I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness
With only the blue light of the TV on
Lip reading threats and false alarms
All you toy soldiers and scaremongers
You know I love you more than slightly
And get sold on the cheap for someone's satisfaction
Are you living in this world sometimes I wonder
Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly
Are you living in this world sometimes I wonder
I crave the silhouette of your kiss
Although I've never said it like this before

Now you're part of someone else
