Iced hands Drip, dripping with icicles Light a fire Dip, dipping them in gasoline Stick a hand in, one at a time, Into the fireplace Smile Scorched hands, are happy hands Crackling in time with the flickering flames The shadows cast, dance the tango around the room Skin melting off the bone Drip, dripping down my arms

"Hands"
Iced hands Drip, dripping with icicles Light a fire Dip, dipping them in gasoline Stick a hand in, one at a time, Into the fireplace Smile Scorched hands, are happy hands Crackling in time with the flickering flames The shadows cast, dance the tango around the room Skin melting off the bone Drip, dripping down my arms
