It was a finger instead of a singer
(Finger, it was a finger)
It was a finger instead of a singer
It was a finger instead of a singer
Something woke me up, a strange noise out in the hall
It was a finger instead of a singer
It was a finger instead of a song
It was a finger instead of a song
Then when he continued, he mumbled about his God
A disconnected finger appeared where it didn't belong
No one could read the writing so someone was called
He said, my father was crazy with fingernails like claws
(Magic finger, a magic finger)
It was a finger instead of a singer
It floated above the floor and wrote something on the wall
And that he ate grass with asses, then he paused
It was a finger instead of a song
It was a finger instead of a singer
(Magic finger, magic finger)
It didn't stay too long
It didn't stay too long
He said my days were numbered, so I started to nod
It didn't stay too long
It was a finger instead of a singer
It was a finger instead of a singer
It's late now, I'm alone, still thinking about what I saw
It was a finger instead of a song
It was a finger instead of a song
When I was having a party and wanted to hear a song
It was a finger instead of a singer
I hear it again
(It was a finger, a magic finger)
