Pearl Jam

Severed Hand

AlphabetLyrics.com


Big man stands behind an open door
Said, 'leave your lady on the cement floor.'

'Got some kicks, wanna take ride?'
I said, 'yeah,...'
'Take your pick, leave yourself behind.'
I said 'yeah,...'

I've no fear but for falling down
So look out below, I am falling now
Oh please understand, I just need my friend
A way home.

Tried to walk, found a severed hand,
Recognized it by the wedding band.

'It's okay, do you want some more?'
I said, 'yeah,...'
'You'll see dragons after 3 or 4...'
I said, 'yeah,...'

'Understand, I'm not falling down'
I said, 'look around, the room's taller now,...'
I can't close my eyes, cause I see the sound
In waves.

In waves, lets me stay calm.

If I don't lose control
Explore and not explode
A preternatural other plane
With the power to maintain.

Like a tear in all we know
Once dissolved, we are free to grow
'What is human?,... what is more?'
I'll answer this
When I get home.
