 SLOW HANDS

Interpol

As heard on Antics (MATADOR)

Words and Music by Interpol • Transcribed by Jeff Perrin

Nobody searches and nobody cares somehow

When the loving that you ve wasted comes raining from a hapless cloud

Then I might stop and look upon your face. disappear in the sweet, sweet gaze

See the living that surrounds me dissipate in a floral blaze

Can t you see what you ve done to my heart and soul

This is a wasteland now

We spies we slow hands. you put the weights around yourself

Wespies. oh yeah we slow hands you put the weights

all

around yourself now

I submit my incent ive is romance, I watch the pole dance of the stars

We rejoice cause the hurting is so painless from the distance of passing cars

N.C.(G)

But I am married to your charms and grace. I just feel crazy like the good old days

You make me want to pick up a guitar and celebrate the myriad ways tha t

I

love you

Can t you see what you ve done to my heart and soul

This is a wasteland now

We spies yeah we slow hands you put the weights all around yourself

We spies oh yeah we slow hands . killer for hire you know not yourself

We spies we slow hands you put the weights all around yourself

Wespies oh yeah we slow hands we retire like nobody else

We spies intimate slow hands killer for hire. you know not yourself

We spies intimate slow hands you let the face slap around the self
