Your Russia (Without Hands) Songtext / Lyric

medicine tongue and a heavy hand

together made a fist

they put me down and I do not rise

and now as an old child

I'll hand it down

I'll hand it down

then I blow around

see me blow around

just like dirty paper



medicine tongue and a heavy hand

together made a list

row on row

of cold and hardened hearts that wish

my weeds and flowers

would together both grow wild

from a distance

from a distance

they come up close to smile






medicine tongue and a heavy hand

together made a fist

they put me down and I do not rise

and now as an old child



far be it from me to take care

take care the words you say

in heart on new's day



by word of mouth

all young men do stagger

and all come to shambles by heart

saw your eyes wide and flashing

setting the woods on fire

breathing heavy dirt

beneath the skin of a liar

did I cross your heart

behind my back just then

I must push on hard

in prayer and take it by force

though you've said it

you say it better

with more conviction than I



medicine tongue and a heavy hand

together made a list

row on row

of cold and hardened hearts that wish

my weeds and flowers

would together both grow wild

from a distance

from a distance

they come up close to smile
