Simple man, what dirty hands you have Oh, the better to leave your greasy mark on And oh, how I missed you tonight Your eyes were the thrill of my life And how I'd love to break you And how I'd love to break you And oh, how I'd love to break you Take you apart tonight Put you together again I'll put you together again Simple man, what dirty hands I have Oh, the better to leave my greasy mark on And how I loved you tonight Your words made the phone call our lives And how I'd love you to break me And how I'd love you to break me And oh, how I'd love you to break me Take me apart tonight And put me together again Put me together again Put me together again Now it's all we know I will wait for the drain, slip away
And keep All we know In a box until it shows You are a simple man Hold spiders in your hand Hang on to me, simple mannered Say "I will go through whatever for you." You say, "Don't be shy." I see, like that's all we've come to know You say "Come on." Come on Like that's all we really know It was long ago And far away Our world was over yesterday But still we made our promises But still you asked for one last kiss Of all the words I'll ever say I hope that you'll recall one day: "I never meant to say goodbye" But you'll never know, never know Simple man, what dirty hands I have Simple man, what dirty hands I have Simple man, what dirty hands I have Simple man, what dirty hands I have
