    Prolonging the Magic

G C D ( C half-beat)


When you sleep where do your fingers go?

What do your fingers know

What do your fingers show

Where do your fingers go

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 youre living your day al over again

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

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


C G
Now zeus was a womanizer
C D G
Always on the make
C D C D 
But hera unusually punished her that zeus was one to take

When you 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
When you sleep where do your fingers go?
What do your fingers know
What do your fingers show
Where do your fingers go

When you sleep
Do they tremble on the edge of the bed
or do you fold them neatly by your head
