(G.Kooymans/B.Hay)
In the room with artificial light
Where the curtains have all been drawn tight

Behind the table that's out of place
Same old dream is being chased
Behind these walls no sound is heard

Beyond this door it's another world

Fist in glove

Don't shake the right hand, baby
Before I know what the left hand wants
Fist in glove

Don't tell me that the sign you're making
Is the same one your daddy's done


Mother, mother, your love is unsuspected
Mother, mother, your love goes undetected now
Like a fist in a glove, like a fist in a glove


In this room with artificial light
No one's certain if it's day or night

Ten square feet in a worst kinda taste
All your hope inside is laid to waste
Masses in the street, counted a million

All in protest against Armageddon

Fist in glove

Don't shake the right hand, baby
Before it knows what the left hand wants
Fist in glove

Don't tell me that the sign you're making
Is the same one your daddy's done
Mother, mother, your love is unsuspected

Mother, mother, your love goes undetected now
Like a fist in a glove, like a fist in a glove
