Whose there, knockin' at the door with a sick stare It's not fair, feel it in your soul but you're unclear Overdressed in substance, and those gold encrusted cuff links Driving you further away from the truth I gotta know Can you handle it? It's like a fire, but I don't wanna burn with you I know you're tired Can you handle it? Down to the wire, could I get any higher with you? Can you handle it? Waiting for the final word, put aside all our fears for now Just like a fire Can you handle it? The elephant tip-toeing across the room Calluses on the gauge, (e)motions are doomed Body of aerosol, spray out the silence Can you handle it? Better run and take your cover Reflection of my mother Assess, undercover One question Can you handle it? It's like a fire, but I don't wanna burn with you I know you're tired Can you handle it? Down to the wire, could I get any higher with you? Can you handle it? Waiting for the final word, put aside all our fears for now Just like a fire Can you handle it? Can you handle it? Tell me tell me now Tell me tell me Tell me Tell me right now Can you handle it? Can you handle it?
