And in this corner Of your freezing room Where the bad, bad dreams reside I'm soaking in the boiling oils That leave naught but my bones And I'll keep it to myself You’re sitting in the Devil's hand With your ego in a paper bag And your third degree burns And this pounding headache that sways me to and fro I am black and blue from head to toe I am hearing only wails and groans Well it leaves me clutching at your shins It leaves me broken up again

Bad Hands 03:37
Don't die stupid save yourself From crooked folk like me Look around paint a canvas Of everything you see And when you have to meet yer maker Nothing stays the same You're hands are full, an empty camera Shooting empty frames Imperfect image of yourself Stays another day Protect yer beautiful self And paint your life away Don't look clumsy make a face To keep your place in line Speak the lingo talk in tongues To make it all sound fine And when you want to keep it simple Make it all deranged And when you want to save your breath You keep it all contained You fucked me over so I fucked them back Imperfect image of yourself stays another day Protect yer beautiful self and paint your life away You fucked me over so I fucked them back Imperfect image of yourself stays another day And your camera with no film Will throw it all away

You were rough around the edge I sand you down I was quite a lot to bear I made you proud You made me think That you could do no wrong I close my eyes But they were welded shut Out of the blue Out of the daze
4.
To want to live and be ashamed You’re far too young to stay up this late To watch the rest and paint a dance It’s far too late I had you If only you had me too
5.
Once I thought I saw a cloud burst The children of the town came to feast their eyes on What they thought was a violent beauty From the “Sermon on the Mount” We filled out cheeks with popcorn Out of the blue Out of the daze
