letra de the escape - friendly savages
[verse 1]
when he broke the handcuffs, all the families with bad blood clapped their hands
a natural reaction to a man they understand – they clapped their hands
the curtains drew. the lights went out. he grabbed a bag of ice and thought of her
and put aside the stinging where the handcuffs cut his hide and thought of her
[chorus]
and oh, our hands are tied
and oh, our hands are tied
[verse 2]
he bought a ring last summer, took a double-jointed knee, and she said “no.”
she asked him if he’d leave his locks and chains and hidden keys and he said “no.”
and his stunts grew more outrageous. every time he took the stage, he scanned the crowd
and she’d watch from the back behind a gypsy-made disguise with her head down
[chorus]
and oh, our hands are tied
and oh, our hands are tied
[verse 3]
late one night in austin, after failing one last time to find her face
he fakes a smile and mutters, “thanks for comin’. this’ll be my last escape.”
yeah, and he walks into the water like a heretic who’s ready for the flame
and in the back she knows that he has chosen barton springs to be his grave
[chorus]
and oh, our hands are tied
and oh, our hands are tied
[verse 4]
she throws her wig aside and shouts “he’s gonna die if you don’t let me through.”
and they split and watch her stumble, scared to help her, as his fingertips turn blue
she flops into the water where she guesses he would be and pats the ground
oh, and when she comes up with him, all the people in the crowd are sure he’s drowned
[chorus]
singin’ “oh, our hands are tied.”
oh, our hands are tied
[verse 5]
yeah, she breathes into his lungs and says a prayer and starts to cry and pumps his heart
and he can’t keep his water-laden body from acceptin’ such a spark
and when his eyes jump open, they go crossed upon her face a breath away
and he kisses her and vomits and he shouts “i have another thing to say!”
“if you know how love’s the noose that you should never loose, then clap your hands.”
“if you know how love’s the lock that unties all your knots, then clap your hands.”
“if you know how love’s the noose that you should never loose, then clap your hands
“’cause if you know how loves’s the lock that unties all your knots, then clap your hands.”
[chorus]
singin’ “oh, our hands are tied.”
oh, our hands are tied
