Gravehands
There was a lady who lost her gloves
And wanted my help but she was in love with me
But I did not love her
She took it hard but she took it quietly
And I still feel so badly
When do you get better? When do you, I don't know
There was another who lost her brother
And wanted my help but there was no-thing
That I could do, so she walked away upset
The complaints rose, no one was happy
And I became terse and spoke in a snappy
Way to the women and men on the news
That's when a man died in my arms-why?
I don't know but I don't feel fine
And that's the first time I took a life and I don't know
And then my lover, oh how I loved her
She was a chaste girl with a daughter
With one stroke across her cheek, she was gone
Called me a monster but I said no
But they were listening to someone else's voice
And I declined to speak on their talk shows
Give it a moment, this will blow over
Someone said that last October
If you would look now things have not improved
I moved away so I could be alone
But then those heroes broke into my home
And they said, "now it's time to pay"
I told 'em, "you'll get hurt if you don't go away"
But they stepped up
I pulled off
My white gloves
It didn't take long till they were in the ground with my love
You wanted vengeance? Well come and take it
My heart's held up with back braces
If you would look now you are strong and I am weak
You finally have your nemesis in your hand
And you can make a fist and squeeze
So hard choke me out
Before you deliver the final stroke
You ask did I learn or am I just broke?
Now listen here
You don't know anything, you think you can see me
But I'm thousands of years in the past
I'm made of gas
I'm the big bang
I'm in the past
I'm made of gas
I'm the big bang
I'm in the past
Life-giving man
I'm the big bang
You don't know anything
And wanted my help but she was in love with me
But I did not love her
She took it hard but she took it quietly
And I still feel so badly
When do you get better? When do you, I don't know
There was another who lost her brother
And wanted my help but there was no-thing
That I could do, so she walked away upset
The complaints rose, no one was happy
And I became terse and spoke in a snappy
Way to the women and men on the news
That's when a man died in my arms-why?
I don't know but I don't feel fine
And that's the first time I took a life and I don't know
And then my lover, oh how I loved her
She was a chaste girl with a daughter
With one stroke across her cheek, she was gone
Called me a monster but I said no
But they were listening to someone else's voice
And I declined to speak on their talk shows

I'm made of gas
I'm the big bang
I'm in the past
I'm made of gas
I'm the big bang
I'm in the past
Life-giving man
I'm the big bang
You don't know anything
