When You Sleep

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?

(When you sleep) Yeah

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 Jell-O 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 death

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?
