The Jeweller's Hands

Lyrics

Fiendish wonder in a carnival's wake
 Dull caresses once again irritate
 Tread softly, stranger
 Move over toward the danger that you seek
 ♪
 You think excitement has receded then the mirror distracts
 The logic of the trends quickly reaches and grasps
 Handsome and faceless
 And weightless, your imagination runs
 
 And now it's no one's fault but yours
 At the foot of the house of cards
 You thought you'd never get obsessed
 You thought the wolves would be impressed
 And you're a sinking stone
 But you know what it's like to hold the jeweller's hands
 That procession of pioneers
 All drowned
 ♪
 In the moonlight they're more thrilling
 Those things that he knows
 As he leads you through the grinning
 Bubble blowers in the snow
 Watching his exit
 Is like falling off the ferry in the night
 The inevitable's gather to push you around
 Any other voice makes such a punishing sound
 He became laughter's assassin
 Shortly after he showed you what it was
 And now it's no one's fault but yours
 At the foot of the house of cards
 You thought you'd never get obsessed
 You thought the wolves would be impressed
 And you're a sinking stone
 But you know what it's like to hold the jeweller's hands
 That procession of pioneers
 All drowned
 ♪
 If you've a lesson to teach me
 I'm listening, ready to learn
 There's no one here to police me
 I'm sinking in until you return
 If you've a lesson to teach me
 Don't deviate, don't be afraid
 Without the last corner piece I can't calibrate
 Let's get it ingrained
 If you've a lesson to teach me
 I'm listening, ready to learn
 There's no one here to police me
 I'm sinking in until you return
 If you've a lesson to teach me
 Don't deviate, don't be afraid
 Without the last corner piece, I can't calibrate
 Let's get it ingrained
 If you've a lesson to teach me
 I'm listening, ready to learn
 There's no one here to police me
 I'm sinking in until you return
 (If you've a lesson to teach me)
 (Don't deviate, don't be afraid)
 (Without the last corner piece, I can't calibrate)
 (Let's get it ingrained)
