lyrics

All alone
He never thought that you'd find him here
He's afraid
Of the thoughts he's had that you won't believe
All the while
He can't take his eyes away
Transitions that come fast
Apparitions that won't last

He was the man with no hands
The man with no hands

Don't go she said

No demand
For a man who's given his whole damn life
Understand,
Another meaning of sacrifice
And their child
She'll never feel his warm embrace
Transitions that come fast
Apparitions that won't last

CHORUS

Don't go she said

When the company took him on
Back in 1924
He had high hopes, a family, happiness
He knew, he couldn't have asked for more

But then the company let him go
When he was 32 years old
That's it, you're done, clean out your locker, son
It's time for you to go back home

They took away his means
His ability to provide
His hands they lie on the assembly line
He feels nothing past his wrists

CHORUS
