No Hands

Look mama no hands I ain’t afraid to fall
I’m riding with my lover down sunset boulevard
and he told me that he loved me in a bathroom stall
and when I kissed him I pushed him up against the wall.
Once upon a time there was a lonesome soldier
staring out to sea over the cold black ocean
one too many years he’d been chewing at the bone
with nothing to show but the lines on his face
There’s trouble in my city cause it’s so damn clean
out with the garbage and out with your dreams
they said hungriness was loveliness and I took another bite
feeding that fever come running throughout the night
Look mama no hands I ain’t afraid to fall
I’m riding with my lover down sunset boulevard
and he told me that he loved me in a bathroom stall
and when I kissed him I pushed him up against the wall.
See you could hold my hand but don’t hang on
when it’s my time it’s my time I’m leaving here alone
I’ll ride my sweet chariot to the end of the road
I’m learning to live, I’m learning to let go
See my condition is a privilege that I don’t understand
it was down in the darkness where I learned my strength
and there’s a pretty penny going down at the docks
but it don’t get me any closer to god
Look mama no hands I ain’t afraid to fall
I’m riding with my lover down sunset boulevard
and he told me that he loved me in a bathroom stall
and when I kissed him I pushed him up against the wall
