only yesterday
I mowed the lawn today
mama said lookout
sister starts to shout
mower gone astray
wish it wuz yesterday
blade lopped off my hand
while i wuz singin with the band...

Take time with a severed hand
cause it likes to steal
Make time with a severed hand
cause it likes to feel
Waste time with ya severed hand
Guess it likes to feel, likes to steal

I'm half the man a used to be, half the arm I used to be, half the wrist I used to be
Let me live among the trees...

Mama warned me good
That blade chops more than wood
Sister starts to weep
I cannot drive her jeep
Dad's just comin home
He sees my stump and moans
So...

Take time with a severed hand
cause it likes to steal
Make time with a severed hand
cause it likes to feel
Waste time with ya severed hand
Guess it likes to feel, likes to steal

I aint the man I used to be
Chopped my hand while clearing trees
Cleared a spot for my mike stand
While singin stoned i chopped my hand

Hand & Me hang out
On 51st and south
Hand & Me make out
Don't need a hole or mouth
Losin all my friends
My folks moved down the bends
It's me, myself & Hand
So try to understand...

Make love with a severed hand
cause it likes to feel
Hold hands with a severed hand
cause it likes to squeal
Make out with ya severed hand
Cause it likes your deal
Of finger meals

I'm more the man I used to be
Chopped my hand in front of me
Me and my hand are more than enough
I'm wedded to this fingered lump
wedded to this fingered lump
