Lyrics:
Hands all over the Eastern border
You know what? I think we're falling
From composure...
Hands all over the Western culture
Ruffling feathers and turning eagles
Into vultures...Yeah into vultures...
Got my arms around baby brother
Put your hands away
You're gonna kill your mother
Gonna kill your mother...
Kill your mother...
And I love her
Hands all over the coastal waters
The crew men thank her
Then lay down their oily blanket...
Hands all over the inland forest
In a striking motion trees fall down
Like dying soldiers...Yeah like dying soldiers...
Hands all over the peasant's daughter
She's our bride
She'll never make it out alive...
Hands all over the words I utter
Change them into what you want to
Like balls of clay...
Put your hands away...
Yeah put your hands away...your hands away...
You're gonna kill your mother
Kill your mother...
And I love her
Music: Thayil
Lyrics: Cornell
