When you sleep lyrics

Artist  : Cake 
Song : 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 
do they clench like claws against your own skin 
when you're 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

now zeus was a womanizer
always on the make 
but hera usually 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
