Paroles de The Mummy's Hand

If you prick us don't it sting

if you kick us won't it hurt

I am wrapped in scraps of linen and pieces of people's old shirts
but way way underneath all these sticky bands

I hold all my dreams right here in my hands



I will rise from the tomb like an infant emerging from the womb



I spent several thousand years down here all alone

no way to stand the lonely old ache in my bones

say the spell three times

crank up the special effects

I'm going to cast off all my bandages and see what happens next


I've been trapped too long underneath the ground

In the hollow darkness ain't no grave gonna hold my body down

I will push my hand up through the earth

and I will rise like the cry of an infant at its birth



Ahahahaha
