The men said my hands, my eyes
Were covered up and paralysed
I don’t remember a thing
A night I spent in ignorance
Surgeons drumming in my mind
There is no time to pass the time
Flashback city lights are bright
Come on, take me home tonight
Hold on, hold on
The full moon won’t be out tonight
Hold on, hold on
And everything will be alright
Hurricanes I never saw
This is the morning I wake up
Radio said some people dead
“Alive,” I cried, “Alive, alive”
Open eyes see open wounds
Touch my hands, you become bruised
Battered, broken, severed, unspoken
Don’t believe it, don’t believe
Hold on, hold on
The full moon won’t be out tonight
Hold on, hold on
And everything will be just right
The message said and done
I’m passing on the summer sun
Are we are cool on the inside
Oh mamma, what you did
I never thought I could have lived
We’re cool on the outside
Now that she has said and done
I just don’t know what I’ll become
Collect my head and leave
Baby starts to breathe
Lover’s hands, a lover’s heart
I’ll be with you until it gets dark
Collect my head and breathe
Baby, I won’t leave
Hold on, hold on
The full moon won’t be out tonight
Hold on, hold on
And everything will be alright
