Handcuffs Lyrics by Floater

The Thief

2018

I think the only way we're getting this right
With a minimum of blood, a maximum of joy
Our only hope is becoming hopeless
No life with no surrender

Yeah, I need a little bit of restraint
Yeah, I need a little bit of restraint
I'm gonna need a little bit of restraint

Bring me them handcuffs
Now put 'em on
Bring me the handcuffs
Now put 'em on
Bring me the handcuffs

Well, your lips smack down on a bite of catastrophe
And it tastes like pain, much better than apathy
Oh, trust me, I need a little bit of restraint
Yeah, I need a little bit of restraint
I need a little bit of restraint

Bring me the handcuffs
Now put 'em on
Bring me the handcuffs
Now put 'em on
Now put 'em on

How strong I'll be if you'll just...
Bring me them handcuffs
Now put 'em on

Oh,bring me the handcuffs
Now put 'em on
Yeah, yeah, bring me the handcuffs

Can't you see the only way we're getting this right
A minimum of blood, a maximum of joy
Our only hope is becoming hopeless
To be liberated, to be elevated, to be illuminated

It don't just drip serenity, you've got to squeeze it out
It'll take a thirsty smile and the grip of a roustabout
You got your head worn down by the thought of the apogee
And it tastes like seawater, better than apathy

Yeah, suntanned, two toned, sucking ambrosia down
One night, one need, one free, one spellbound
Now put 'em on
Put 'em on
