Tommy's Cane
Killing Touch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Tommy "The Touch" Wolf:]
Whenever I touch things I do share a tale, we're born to make mistakes
I have to rely on my beloved cane, I see things that are never wrong

Some would call it a miracle... A gift, a sign, a damnation...

I'd rather stay out of trouble
Whenever I'm touching my walking cane I rewind all the memories

[Dave "The Friendship" Maxwell:]
Ain't your fantasy but a score of the lives we live

Tommy's walking cane

[Tommy:]
Humans deserve to know the twist of fate and fill the blanks of pain
Anytime we get along, anytime we leave the wire uncut
Until a spike of ego comes and makes our consciousness kill the faith

Some would call it a miracle... Thoughts and dreams become physical...

I'd rather stay out of trouble
Whenever I'm touching my walking cane I rewind all the memories...
Only trying to achieve the best for you and me

[Dave:]
Then no one is satisfied... (No one is satisfied...)
Once they know, here comes another tear
Keep moving your human pawns, ain't your fantasy but a score of the lives we
Live

Tommy's walking cane
Tells a lie we live in

[Tommy:]
I can see all the way, you just stay away from me
I can see all the way... Memories, prayers, goals, mistakes...
Play on player, don't pull the plug, still two wrongs don't make a right...

I can see all the way... (All the way...)... I'm a lightning rod, don't care 'bout fame
Can't break down this wall of shame, still two wrongs don't make a right...

[Dave:]
Tommy's walking cane
Tommy's walking cane

[Tommy:]
Justice falls and I know that I can't play God
Though we are of a single mind, no one is a single thing... Yeah!

[George "The Mask" Adams:]
I can lead all the nations, take my hand and I'll take up your fears
In a World made of honour and pride, will this God give me all that I need to get by?

[Tommy:]
Adams can't lead a Nation, grab my hand and I'll show you my fears
In a World made of sorrow and lies, will your God give me all that I need to get by?

I'd rather stay out of trouble
Whenever I'm touching my walking cane I rewind all the memories...
Only trying to achieve the best for you and me

[Dave:]
Then no one is satisfied... (No one is satisfied...)
Once they know, here comes another tear




Keep moving your human pawns
Ain't your fantasy but a score of the lives we live, yeah... Of the lies we live...
