lyrics

8 - Four Hands


Please don’t regret
the mistake that you made
in accepting my hand
the hand me down
wedding band that you threw
across the room
got lost in the vacuum
the next afternoon
I look at the wall
its mortar and brick
there’s no sign of sorry
when the smoke is this thick

call it a failure, a lie, or a wager
what am I to do?

together we stood
a woman and man
the wolf in your eyes
and the sweat in your hands
together we stood
a woman and man
we held the seeds of a masterplan
we’d take on the mountain
with four skinny hands

my ego and all of my masculine clothes
tailored to fit, tailored to pose
you pick at the seams
and pull at the strands
you floss your teeth
and spit in my hands
it sounds like revenge
born out of love
smells like a fire
I thought I had burnt out

call it a failure, a lie, or a wager
what am I to do?

together we stand
a woman and man
the wolf in your eyes
and the sweat in your hands
together we stand
a woman and man
we hold the seeds of a masterplan
we’ll take on the mountain
with four skinny hands

Kliffs Berlin, Germany

Kliffs write recycled tone poems for the perpetually bemused, and pop songs for shy dancers. They channel the quiet of early morning sun rays tickling cloud banks and mix it up with songs better suited to late-night inner city bicycle rides.
