"Palm Of Your Hand" lyrics - CAKE

When the house was standing you'd never have believed it
When the house was standing you'd never have believed
The bricks and mortar have all given way
At first they resisted but then they began to sway

[Chorus:]
How can you say forever is at your command?
How can you say the future's in the palm, in the palm of your hand?

When the house was standing you'd never have believed it
When the house was standing you'd never have believed
That gaping hole was once a foundation
Where you stand now were tools in the basement

[Chorus:]
Then, how can you say forever is at your command?
How can you say the future's in the palm, in the palm of your hand?
