On a crowded street, or from a passing car I can see the world from where I am People stand in line so they can buy their things They buy a vegetable or a can I taste the water and the water tastes hot I taste the water and the water tastes hot Chorus: Hands of love They keep on slipping Hands of love They keep on gripping My home, it might as well just be a cave And the ones next door don't talk to me And when I'm lyin' in bed at night, I hear the sounds Of the sirens and the dogs and the people screaming I taste the water and the water tastes hot I taste the water and the water tastes hot Chorus repeat 1.5x I taste the water and the water tastes hot I taste the water and the water tastes hot Whistle down the... whistle down the road (Hands of love, they keep on slipping) Whistle down the... whistle down the road (Hands of love, they keep on gripping) Whistle down the... whistle down the road (Hands of love, they keep on slipping) Hands of love repeat until fade
