Hands of Love Wall of Voodoo

[Verse 1]
On a crowded street, or from a passing car
I can see the world from where I am
People stand in line so they can buy their things
They buy a vegetable or a can

[Pre-Chorus]
I taste the water and the water tastes hot
I taste the water and the water tastes hot

[Chorus]
Hands of love, they keep on slipping
Hands of love, they keep on gripping

[Verse 2]
My home, it might as well just be a cave
And the ones next door don't talk to me
And when I'm lyin' in bed at night, I hear the sounds
Of the sirens, and the dogs, and the people screaming

[Pre-Chorus]
I taste the water and the water tastes hot
I taste the water and the water tastes hot

[Chorus]
Hands of love, they keep on slipping
Hands of love, they keep on gripping
Hands of love, they keep on slipping
