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

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
