Washing My Hands

(John McGie/Jon Lundquist)


WASHING MY HANDS

Old memories
They rip my mind
I’m going to be very bad
To be very good this time
My heart is lazy
And your dress is tight
Which would you prefer
Good morning or goodnight?
Washing my hands and getting dirty

Gave up on yesterday
It took up too much of my time
The things about seeing things clear
Is you often wish you’d go blind
You’re a pact with the devil
That I never meant to keep
It’s hard to be unfaithful
When the both of us cheat
Washing my hands and getting dirty

Hey babe
Move a bit slower
This ending
Is far from over
Don’t try to be nice
Don’t try to think twice
I don’t want love
From another

My life’s been out of date
Ever since you walked in
All I ever wanted
Is some used up original sin
I don’t have time for you
And you don’t have time for me
I hate myself each time
I see me on my knees
Washing my hands and getting dirty
