Hands Off lyrics

A little pain is in my heart
I knew him since that first day at school
I've got something to say
I'm still hanging on to those dreams
That are gone ...

Now he's locked in for years
The first thing he's got to realize
Is not words but prison walls
Can show him that it needs a compromise

Hands off - there's no easy way out
Hands off - when it's dirty here tonight
Hands off - before you're lost in the dark
Hands off - when the devil's by your side

He tries to face his life
He's always been standing on the edge
We've been some kind of friends
And me - I'm not the one who'ld judge

He stole some cars in the night
To show 'em all - he's acting cool
He never cared about my words
My restless voice that's always
Been calling him - warning him
