Words by chris cornell Music by kim thayil Hands all over the eastern border You know what? i think we're falling From composure Hands all over western culture Ruffling feathers and turning eagles into vultures Got my arms around baby brother Put your hands away Your gonna k** your mother, k** your mother And i love her Hands all over the coastal waters The crew men thank her
Then lay down their oily blanket Hands all over the inland forest In a striking motion trees fall down Like dying soldiers Hands all over the peasants daughter She's our bride She'll never make it out alive Hands all over words i utter Change them into what you want to Like balls of clay Put your hands away Your gonna k** your mother And i love her
