Nice to see you once again

Been a long time, my friend

Since you crossed my mind at all

There's no need to beat about

Not hard to figure out

This ain't no social call

It's been quite a long, long time

But not enough to find the line

To get me goin' once again

Just one word I could respect

But then what do I expect?

You missed that boat a long time ago

Would you mind

Keepin' your hands inside?

I am friends with so many

Of the dead who already

Take a lot of space in my head

I hear from them every morning

About all of your moaning

Must be tired by now of where they are

I sense that you are not so sure

Of takin' the grand tour

Without some kind of guarantee

I'll make this easier on you

Just let me walk you through

Relax and take my lead

And if it feels a little strange

I won't leave you shortchanged

Don't worry, this one's on me

Would you mind

Keepin' your hands inside?

I am friends with so many

Of the dead who already

Take a lot of space in my head

I hear from them every morning

About all of your moaning

Must be tired by now of where they are

There are friends already waiting

For the space that you're containing

Keep your hands inside

It isn't far
