You Am I

By My Own Hand

You Am I


Can you cut that tendon at the back of my hip 
I can't run away, my bones congeal 
The stakes are simple, shit and bile 
But you just don't get it (No you just don't get it) 

You must hook up with me for a year round summer 
'Cos when the cold comes, you stay and sit number 
But I'm sure ice would melt in your glove 
And you just don't get it (No you just don't get it) 

And it just can't hurt any worse than before 
Strike a match and bolt the door 
You get nothing back 'cos you're gonna go down 
By my own hand (By my own hand) 
By my own hand (By my own hand) Yeh 

So I'm one bad gig out of the Jason recliner 
One bad song and I'm back at the diner 
Yeh, eating your scraps, cleanin' your crap 
But you just don't get it (You want chips with that?) 

I hate your ambition, hell I even hate mine 
Makes me holograms and little things and water out of wine
But you won, yeh hon, well fuck it I'm done 
And I just don't get it (No you just don't get it) 

And it just can't hurt any worse than before 
You get it now, I was nothing more 
You get nothing more, you're gonna go down 
By my own hand (By my own hand) 
By my own hand (By my own hand) 

Pills for pills sake (pills for pills sake) 
Liquor for God sake (liquor for God sake) 
Your tryin' to fix a shark wound 
With a cotton ball, Yeh 

My own hand (By my own hand) 
My own hand (By my own hand) 

So get me to the airport and throw me on a plane 
Do the sentimental tango and send me off again 
I'll bounce right back 'cos I'm gonna go down 
By my own hand (By my own hand) 
By my own hand (By my own hand) Yeh 

Bring on the new sound
