too high

your bones are brittle

inside you

wrapped so soft your blood

is running i'll be there

if you're moving slowly

we still get there i'll be there

such a strong desire

hunger

all you need to hope you keep your head

yeah

the slow hand quickens

what you've done with all those

around you

hopeful always that someone

will come and save you but i'll be there

to watch you sulk returning

seething i'll be there

minutes hold onto hours

get's you twisting

all you need to hope you keep your head

yeah ooh

the slow hand quickens

how'd you leave it with the love you lost?

you made them crawl to be without you

the slow hand quickens

yeah sand is empty

in the hourglass i'll be there

to turn it over and over

in your head

so you keep the hope you get your day

yeah

the slow hand's quicker

oh

you seem too hard to break too cold to burn

afraid your chance is gone

your wires are crossed

your mouth is lost

you fear you left it far too long

the minutes passed

the hours are gone

so hard to find your way alone

the slow hand's quicker

yeah

the slow hand's quicker

the slow hand's quicker

i

your slow hand's quicker
