PEARL JAM - Severed Hand lyrics

rate me

Big man standing behind an open door

Said, "leave your lady on the cement floor."

"Got some kicks, wanna take ride?"

I said, "Yeh,..."

"Take your pick, leave yourself behind."

I said "Yeh,..."

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, "Yeh,..."

"You'll see dragons after 3 or 4..."

I said, "Yeh,..."

"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.
