Lyrics
What's the Sound of One Hand Clappin?
What?s the sound of one hand clappin'?
You just don?t know, what has happened
The silence is deafening, she?s on the run
She hasn?t told you yet, but you two are done
Now you know in your heart, she?s been cheatin on you
Looks you right in the eye, and lies through and through
But this ain?t your problem, you treated her so sweet
Someday she?ll pay, she?ll get knocked off of her feet
So It no longer matters, what?s been goin? on
There?ll be no more suffering for ya?
Mornin?, night, or dawn
So pack all your belongins? boy,
For she?s already long gone
Now don?t think of all the good times, don?t think of all the abuse
She?s been lyin? to you, there really is no excuse
Now you think this all demeans you, that you?re a clown and a fool
An idiot, a loser, as she took you to school
But I know just how you think, I know just how you feel
And I know you?re really bad off, on that rack and on that wheel
But this is one time, man, that you?ve done nothing wrong
She?ll lose big in the end, for she?s the one that wrote this song
So It no longer matters, what?s been goin? on
There?ll be no more suffering for ya?
Mornin?, night, or dawn
So pack all your belongins? boy,
For she?s already long gone
Now one lonely hand?s still clappin,
Is that a sad sound you say?
And I say ?no, it?s merely one hand
Seekin? another hand with which to play'
So it no longer matters, what?s been goin? on
There?ll be no more suffering for ya?
Mornin?, night, or dawn
So pack all your belongins? boy,
For she?s already long gone
