Cake - When You Sleep lyrics

When you sleep

Where do your fingers go

What do your fingers know

What do your fingers show

Where do your fingers go

Yeah

When you sleep do they tremble on the edge of the bed

Or do you fold them neatly by your head

Do they clinch like claws against your own skin

When you're living your day all over again

When you sleep

Where do your fingers go

What do your fingers know

What do your fingers show

Where do your fingers go

Yeah

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 light

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 chalkboard of death

Only seeking attention when everyone in the room has left

Where do your fingers go

What do your fingers know

What do your fingers show

Where do your fingers go

Yeah

When you sleep do they tremble on the edge of the bed

Or do you fold them neatly by your head
