Push the Hand(with lyrics)- the Toadies

'Hell Bellow/Stars Above' album (2001)

I guess I left myself wide open
I guess I earned that weight
Feel that weight, feel that weight pushing down
I know you saw, you saw it coming
Well, I saw it coming, too
Now with eyes all over you
I can't help but wonder
What we'll do under that weight, that weight
Take the bait
Take, take, take

Feel that weight, feel that weight pushing down
Where's my friend, I need a hero now
Can I push that hand away, push that hand away
Lips and cheek and full of drink and tell me what I said

I thought I knew you, I thought I knew myself
Never guessed the cost, the waste
Just a taste is all I wanted
It's been a long time, a long time coming
But this is how we make or break
Take, take, take

Feel that weight, feel that weight pushing down
What the hell we stepping into now
Can I push that hand away, push that hand away
Pinch and wink and full of drink and shoulder to the weight

Feel that weight, feel that weight pushing down
I thought I knew you, I thought I knew myself
Can I push that hand away, push that hand away
Push it, Push It.

I don't get the satanic vibe from this at all. In fact I think a lot of Toadies songs are about god; where is god, I'm far from god, backslider, ect... It's all open to interpretation and I'm glad it means something to you, cause it fucking means a lot to me.

Lol satanic... I always assumed this song was about a drunk guy that found himself about to be screwed by a male friend. ;) "I thought I knew you/I thought I knew myself"

So this is Toadies post rubberneck huh?.....wish they would have came out with one more before they slit the first time...this is not what I wanted to hear....dragsville

Superb writer However at times dark...seems like inner struggle between good and evil to me. I love the Toadies and this album is one if their best and so unloved! Pop it in right before you head out and tell me it's not Good! Lips and cheek and Porto Rican...now tell me what I said? LMFAO

Oh and not to be a dick, but this song does make heavy use of the note in a scale that would have got you killed if you were a church organ player 500 years ago, but most of rock n' roll does :P

You have to believe in God to appreciate Satan ;)

[ElectricGypsy95]

Probably the most Rubberneck song I've heard out of them since Rubberneck.
