lyrics

The Flat Hands


When there's strangers on my pillow
And dwarves run thru the walls

When there's blood on springtime swallows
And the silence starts to brawl

When the skeletons in my closet
Wake the spiders on my bed

When the dolphin in its dragnet
Makes the flood all turn to sweat

(well, then what… ?)

When the answerphone brings boredom
To my disconnected ear

When freedom rhymes with seldom
And my roommate's name is fear

When corpses look like girlfriends
And blow kisses to the gloom

When armies of dead postmen
Ring twice and deliver doom…

(well, then what… ?)

The Flat Hands (of fate will hit you in the face when you least expect it)
The Flat Hands (of fate will hit you in the face when you least control it)
The Flat Hands (of fate will hit you in the face and you can't correct it)
The Flat Hands (of fate will hit you in the face when you least deserve it)

(well, then what… ?)
