I Don't Wanna Hold Your Hand There's a shadow crawling over Over us And it's wrapping round my neck and squeezing The streets are vacant but they're always watching Your affection is a target still and It's not safe round here Not safe round here No matter where we stand No matter where we stand Save it for later Cause I don't wanna hold your hand You get that liberal sense of security Because you're forgetting where you are So visible I close my eyes and your fingers lock mine And that's enough to feed the blood to the wolves It's not safe round here Not safe round here No matter where we stand No matter where we stand Save it for later Cause I don't wanna hold your hand I don't wanna hold your hand You're only as safe as they let you There's an ugly limit to acceptance Dictated by visibility Of your sexuality Save it for later Cause I don't wanna hold your I don't wanna hold your I don't wanna hold your I don't wanna hold your Hand I don't wanna hold your hand I don't wanna hold your hand I don't wanna hold your hand I don't wanna hold your hand
