Simple man, what dirty hands you have   Oh, the better to leave your greasy mark on   And oh, how I missed you tonight   Your eyes were the thrill of my life      And how I'd love to break you   And how I'd love to break you   And oh, how I'd love to break you      Take you apart tonight   Put you together again   I'll put you together again      Simple man, what dirty hands I have   Oh, the better to leave my greasy mark on   And how I loved you tonight   Your words made the phone call our lives      And how I'd love you to break me   And how I'd love you to break me   And oh, how I'd love you to break me      Take me apart tonight   And put me together again   Put me together again   Put me together again      Now it's all we know   I will wait for the drain, slip away   And keep   All we know   In a box until it shows      You are a simple man   Hold spiders in your hand   Hang on to me, simple mannered   Say "I will go through whatever for you."      You say, "Don't be shy."   I see, like that's all we've come to know.   You say "Come on." Come on.   Like that's all we really know      It was long ago   And far away   Our world was over yesterday   But still we made our promises   But still you asked for one last kiss      Of all the words I'll ever say   I hope that you'll recall one day:   "I never meant to say goodbye"   But you'll never know, never know      Simple man, what dirty hands I have   Simple man, what dirty hands I have   Simple man, what dirty hands I have   Simple man, what dirty hands I have
