Hook:

There are days when I couldn't fight my way out of a wet paper bag

Even if I had Edward Scissorhands hands
There are times I kick and scream and cry
Because I'm swept up in a hurricane

Of %#@! that hard to leave behind
This snowballs chances are fantastic
With elemental firm my past hell bent on escalating fast

There are days when I couldn't fight my way out of a wet paper bag
Even if I had Edward Scissorhands hands


Aesop Rock:

If I had Edward Scissorhands hands

I would widdle pots into pentagrams
I could say hello to my little friends
Give me ten snip snip

Harvester of middle men
And thumbs split against a bit of introspective sludge
In a moment of resenting he's motivated of forgetting

Home
A den of grotesque over stepping
Where blood ain't thick as a face full of spit

From a eucharistic minister enraged with his kid
The very same hand feeding Christ to parishioners
Later bunched tight

Punched like Santa's miniatures
And images I don't $$#ociate with my awareness anymore
But I've recently been daring to explore

Instead of Mary
Schlepped home jugging the wet stones
The handshakes sting

But the hug is a death code
The son of a spitfire
Show up in the wet snow

He's cutting the tripwire
He's opened a window
Like a mercenary gunning for a slumbering death stroke

In the pen ultimate seconds of a budding crescendo
These stone snows
Scissorhands bets

Cut a pig heart from a wicked mans chest
Maybe hang it high on a fence for a fantasy alive in the eyes of revenge
Oh

And I'd accidentally injure every jam band
If I had Edward Scissorhands hands
Hmm...


Kimya Dawson:


I will wrap my arms around you
And I will not let them get through to harm you
My fingers will be just like barbed wire surrounding you

And I will not let them through
To do the things they want to do to you
I will wrap my arms around you

I will wrap my arms around you
