Gimme Back Lyrics

(Gimme back) I need my hands,

(Gimme back) I want my feet.

(Gimme back) Give me my soul,

I'm incomplete.


(Gimme back) I need my eyes,

(Gimme back) I want my teeth.

(Gimme back) Gimme my scope,

Give me my beliefs.


[ Chorus ] 

Oh, here I hang on this - hook, line and sinker.

Don't take the skin off my fingers!


(Gimme back) I need my arms,

(Gimme back) My back is bent.

(Gimme back) I want my hope,

I'm deficient.


(Gimme back) I need my blood,

(Gimme back) I want my space.

(Gimme back) Gimme my dream.

I rest my case.


[ Repeat Chorus ] 

Like a fire without a flame,

Desert with no rain.


(Gimme back) I need my face,

(Gimme back) I want my beat.

(Gimme back) Gimme my pulse,

I'm in retreat.


(Gimme back) I need my hair,

(Gimme back) I want my voice.

(Gimme back) Gimme my vision,

Gimme back my choice.


[ Repeat Chorus ] 

Like a fire without a flame,

Desert with no rain.


Oh, mountain high,

I'm in so deep.

Look down, look down on I.

Take these chains from off my feet.


I'm a fire without a flame,

Desert with no rain.


I want my beat,

I'm incomplete.

I want my face.

I rest my case.
