PEARL JAM LYRICS - Severed Hand

"Severed Hand"



Big man stands behind an open door

Said, "leave your lady on the cement floor."



"Got some kicks, wanna take ride?"

I said, "Yeah,..."

"Take your pick, leave yourself behind."

I said "Yeah,..."



I've no fear but for falling down

so look out below, I am falling now

Oh please understand, I just need my friend

a way home.



Tried to walk, found a severed hand,

recognized it by the wedding band.



"It's okay, do you want some more?"

I said, "Yeah,..."

"You'll see dragons after 3 or 4..."

I said, "Yeah,..."



"Understand, I'm not falling down"

I said, "Look around, the room's taller now,..."

I can't close my eyes, cause I see the sound

in waves.



In waves, lets me stay calm.



If I don't lose control

explore and not explode

a preternatural other plane

with the power to maintain.



Like a tear in all we know

once dissolved, we are free to grow

"What is human?,... What is more?"

I'll answer this

when I get home.
