The Hand

I've been waitin' on the hand...waitin' on the hand.
Ohhh...the hand...
(they said)
Stand aside, let darkness pass. Steam engine will come back.
Magic men all dressed in black.
You know this shit can't last, you know "this too shall pass"
Magic men all dressed in black.
Will I die and be alright? Will I die and be just fine?
And if I do, I hope that I make love all night, just like I'd made my mind.
When will it flip? The hand?
When will I take my treasure? And what does that mean? What does it even mean?!
Ohhh...the hand...
Stood aside, yet darkness lasts!
Steam engine - where is it?
In a song I promised myself something so different.
Ohhh...the hand...the plan.

Jigsaw puzzle, countin' quarters in your living room.
I saw spirits in your ceiling tile.
Jigsaw puzzle, get'n the corner.
Another missing piece is falling out of reach.
And you're gonna die with awful things still inside, you knew that time wouldn't waste its time for you and I.
Something strikes, and what is you leaves your body.
Jigsaw puzzle - silenced for good.
This is what you feared - never coming clear.
Jigsaw puzzle, don't take their orders! Not with a grain of salt, maybe not at all.

So this is it
And it's OK, because I'm going away
And I'm getting my way, all the time
This time and time again, I've prevailed
And still I feel soldiered by the rain and hail of desperate times on my mind
Who said it was OK to be so down?
So I'm giving up, I'm throwing away the keys
To my life, and all I thought it had for me
Bad disappointments, big loads of bullshit
And how can I stop it? I don't know
But I feel like shit
It's not OK, that we all have to give way
All those tolls that you paid for a sad end, a bad end
With no Sno-Caps, no slow claps, no standing-o claps
You know what you know
But can you die and be alright?
Who said it was OK to turn around?
So I'm giving up, I'm throwing away the key
To my life, and all I thought it had for me
Bad disappointments, big loads of bullshit
And how can I stop it? I don't know
But this is it
Does it ring a bell? Doesn't ring a bell.

In The Center

I promise, I'll get the last laugh
At the hospital bed, you won't even have a chance
A promise - the only one that I kept
The other ones, which you've told your friends of
For awhile, life was a great big nap
I was broke, I was sad, and now I'm broke but not too bad
I still can't...quite now...quiet down
I look down at my hand
I look down at my hand
I lay dead in the center, dead in the center, down in my hand
I look down at my hand
I'm so proud of my hands
I lay dead in the center, dead in the center of my hand
