Builder's Hands

High Vis Vest Taut on your chest Hold out your builder's hands Dimple dot cheek Stumble on the speak That weird static in the air Brick and mortar Silent waters And the canyon of doubt Papa show tough love Bit of push, bitter shove Now shake the builder's hand I couldn't show I did not know I guess sorry doesn't cut it Strung out in Dubai Or stoned in Brunei Never quite feel at home Rocks in his gut Don't know what's what Still mind the bedside manner Stitched up belly Nothing's on tele You know nothing stays on Desperate Housewives Days of our lives The week I hear that death rattle hum Let's make amends Try it again Hold out your builder's hands
