God's Magic Finger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It was a finger instead of a singer
It was a finger instead of a song
It was a finger instead of a singer
It didn't stay too long
It was a finger instead of a singer
It was a finger instead of a song
It was a finger instead of a singer
It didn't stay too long
When I was having a party and wanted to hear a song
A disconnected finger appeared where it didn't belong
It floated above the floor and wrote something on the wall
No one could read the writing so someone was called
It was a finger instead of a singer
It was a finger instead of a song
It was a finger instead of a singer
It didn't stay too long
He said my father was crazy with fingernails like claws
And that he ate grass with asses, then he paused
Then when he continued, he mumbled about his God
He said my days were numbered, so I started to nod
It's late now and I'm alone, still thinking about what I saw
Something woke me up, a strange noise out in the hall
I hear it again
It was a finger instead of a singer
It was a finger instead of a song
It was a finger instead of a singer
It didn't stay too long
It was a finger instead of a singer
It was a finger instead of a song
It was a finger instead of a singer
It was a finger instead of a song...
