Lyrics
Chinese Handcuffs
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 come to face myself
In a staring contest in the mirror
Where there's more chance of victory
Than in an argument with you
We're not two peas in a pod
We're two fingers in Chinese handcuffs
The more we pull we stay
The more we stay we pull
Apart this wicker toy
With it the joy
The things that bind in pain
Keep us in love
