Jim White - Palm Of My Hand Lyrics

Jim White Lyrics

"Palm Of My Hand"

If you got time to climb a mountain
Then you got time to be the mountain
Find a sweet little soda fountain
Right there in the junkyard of your heart

You gotta walk like a funny angel
If you wanna get a laugh in heaven
But you won't roll no seven eleven
Unless you buy these loaded dice

Hey hey, my my, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand
Hey hey, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand
My my, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand
Hey hey, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand

If you want a mind as sharp as a razor, you best strap on a TV
Hey, you 'bout to lose all touch with the savior, so you better not change the channel
It don't matter if you're crazy, if you're wild, or if you're blind
If you want muscles as big as Hercules, you gotta dance on a wiggly thingamajig

Hey hey, my my, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand
Hey hey, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand
My my, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand
Hey hey, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand

If you've got rocks inside your head, we'll show you how to run for local office
If you feel sad and all alone, you can buy yourself a gift and build a puppet
Sold by a man named Joe from Texas, 'course the parts are assembled in Paris
Portion of the money goes straight to Jesus, but it only works on Easter

Hey hey, my my, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand
Hey hey, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand
My my, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand
Hey hey, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand

Why should I venture out into public? I might end up in the Olympics
Have to jump across an ocean to get myself a PHD in physics
Why should I bother going anywhere, when I got everything right before me
I can get crime and drugs and religion and sex without ever going out the door

Hey hey, my my, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand
Hey hey, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand
My my, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand
Hey hey, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand

My my, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand
Hey hey, I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand
My my, my my
My my, my my
My my, my my
My my, my my
