Lyrics
Hands in The Air
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've seen two time losers running everywhere
Shouting and screamin', "i was never there!"
With their hands in the air
Hands in the air
I've seen bad news messengers avoiding kings
Cheating spouses twisting their rings
With their hands in the air
Oooh, got their hands in the air
As guilty as the wind out on the sea
Affecting who we are and who we'll be
There's a desperation, a real despair
Even the good people are starting to declare
I've got my hands in the air
Ah my hands are in the air
They're surrendering, they're giving in
They'll do anything not to go through this again
They've got their hands in the air
Ooh, their hands in the air
And they're sinking in the quicksand like a stone
Broken to the marrow of the bone, oh
The dealers are dividing up their tips
The gamblers, they're all cashin' in their chips
There's a man in the middle of a parking lot
Wondering which way he should go
There's a star on the horizon
Sinking low, low
All you death wish addicts, you corrupters of truth
You killers of the spirit, you marauders of youth
Get your hands in the air
I want to see your hands in the air
If you're selling these lies, these impossible dreams
You can keep on washin' but you'll never get clean
Get your hands in the air
Let me see your hands in the air
