Hand Over Fist Lyrics - Presto - Rush

Hand over fist 

Paper around the stone 

Scissors cut the paper 

Cut the paper to the bone 

Hand over fist 

Paper around the stone 

Scissors cut the paper 

And the rock must stand alone 

I could disappear into the crowd 

Not if I keep my head in the clouds 

I could walk away so proud 

It's easy enough if you don't laugh too loud

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I thought I was okay alone 

Wait for the postman and the telephone 

Lost in a world of my own 

I thought I could run alone 

Thought I could run through the night alone 

Hand over fist 

Paper around the stone 

Scissors cut the paper 

Cut the paper to the bone 

Hand over fist 

Paper around the stone 

Scissors cut the paper 

And the rock must stand alone 

Hand over hand 

Doesn't seem so much 

Hand over hand 

Is the strength of the common touch.

You talk as we walk alone 

Never imagined I could be so wrong 

Humming your favorite song 

You know I've hated that song for so long. 

How can we ever agree? 

Like the rest of the world 

We grow farther apart 

I swear you don't listen to me 

Holding my hand to my heart 

Holding my fist to my racing heart 

Hand over fist (Hand over fist) 

Paper around the stone (Paper around the stone) 

Scissors cut the paper (Scissors cut the paper) 

Cut the paper to the bone 

Take a walk outside myself 

In some exotic land 

Greet a passing stranger 

Feel the strength in his hand 

Feel the world expand 

I feel my spirit resist 

But I open up my fist 

Lay hand over hand over... 

Hand over fist 

Paper around the stone 

Scissors cut the paper 

Cut the paper to the bone 

Hand over hand doesn't seem so much 

Hand over hand is the strength of the common touch 

Hand over hand doesn't seem so much 

Hand over hand is the strength of the common touch 

Hand over hand doesn't seem so much 

Hand over hand is the strength of the common touch 

Hand over hand doesn't seem so much 

Hand over hand... 

Hand over fist 

Paper around the stone 

Scissors cut the paper 

Cut the paper to the bone 

Hand over fist 

Paper around the stone 

Scissors cut the paper 

Cut the paper to the bone 

Hand over fist 

Paper around the stone 

Scissors cut the paper 

Cut the paper to the bone 

Hand over fist 

Paper around the stone 

Scissors cut the paper 

Cut the paper to the bone
