When you sleep
Where do your fingers go?
What do your fingers know
What do your fingers show
Where do your fingers go? Yeah
When you sleep
Do they tremble on the edge of the bed
Or do you fold them neatly by your head?
Do they clench like claws against your own skin
When you're living your day all over again?
When you sleep
(When you sleep)
Where do your fingers go?
(When you sleep)
What do your fingers know
(When you sleep)
What do your fingers show
(When you sleep)
Where do your fingers go? Yeah
(When you sleep)
Do they play guitar in a Latin bar?
Are they strangers or lovers?
Do they drive your car?
Are they swimming submissively?
Sex acts of life
Or just cutting through jello
With a very sharp knife
Now Zeus was a womanizer
Always on the make
But Hera usually punished her
That Zeus was one to take
When you sleep
(Sleep, sleep, sleep)
Where do your fingers go?
Are they pulling out weeds
From the dusty soil?
But then never rewarded
With the fruits of their toil
Are they scratching their nails
On the chalkboards of d**h?
Only seeking attention
When everyone in the room has left
(When you sleep)
Where do your fingers go?
(When you sleep)
What do your fingers know
(When you sleep)
What do your fingers show
(When you sleep)
Where do your fingers go? Yeah
(When you sleep)
When you sleep
Do they tremble on the edge of the bed
Or do you fold them neatly by your head?
