Hand in Hand (1988)

Asphalt maddows
traffic light trees
glass waterfalls
lamppost palms
steel caverns
neon flowerbeds
jungle city – city jungle
estrangement maze

hey, but baby, hand in hand we
walk this unwavering land
you’re so beautiful
and me, (and me) I’m handsome

look at man
nature’s sublime species
see the townbound fauna
uniform constrictors
tie caymans
fur sharks
necklace jackals
lapel pin warrigals
blue jean hyenas
blackleather tigers

and baby, hand in hand we
walk this unshakeable land
you’re so beautiful
and me, (and me) I’m handsome

let’s go pick neon
dig asphalt, cut light
climb cement
look at the petrified
scenery admiring
let’s climb any top
look down in awe

let’s go pick flowers
dig asphalt, cut light
climb cement
look petrified
upon the scenery
we’ve reached the top
we’ve reached the top

look over there, see the sharks?
look over there, check out the jackals!
skim these tigers
brush hyenas
pet constrictors

we’ve reached the top, hey baby, hey
reached the top, you’re so handsome
reached the top, so beautiful
reached the top, so handsome
reached the top, so beautiful
reached the top, so handsome
reached the top, so beautiful
reached the top, so handsome
reached the top, so beautiful
reached the top, so handsome
