Fingertips

Everything is catching

Yes, everything is catching on fire

(Everything's catching on fire)

Everything is catching on fire (everything's catching on fire)

Fingertips

Fingertips

Fingertips

I hear the wind blow

I hear the wind blow

It seems to say, "Hello, Hello,

I'm the one who loves you so."

Hey now everybody now

Hey now everybody

Hey now everybody now

Who's that standing out my window?

I found a new friend

Underneath my pillow

Come on and wreck my car (come on)

Come on and wreck my car (come on)

Come on and wreck my car (come on)

Come on and wreck my car (come on)

Aren't you the guy who hit me in the eye?

Aren't you the guy who hit me in the eye?

Please pass the milk, please

Please pass the milk, please

Please pass the milk, please

Leave me alone, leave me alone

Who's knocking on the wall?

All alone all alone

All by myself

What's that blue thing doing here?

Something grabbed ahold of my hand

I didn't know what had my hand

But that's when all my troubles began

I don't understand you (I don't understand you)

I just don't understand you (I don't understand you)

I don't understand the things you say

I can't understand a single word

I don't understand you (I don't understand you)

I just don't understand you (I don't understand you)

I cannot understand you (I don't understand you)

I don't understand you (I don't understand you)

I heard a sound, I turned around

I turned around to find the thing

That made the sound

Mysterious whisper

Mysterious whisper

Mysterious whisper

Mysterious whisper

The day that love came to play

I'm having a heart attack

I'm having a heart attack

I'm having a heart attack

I'm having a heart attack

Fingertips

Fingertips

I walk along darkened corridors

And I walk along darkened corridors

I walk along darkened corridors

And I walk along darkened corridors
