Lyrics for God's Magic Finger
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 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 later now, 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, it was a finger It was a finger instead of a song A magic finger, magic finger It was a finger instead of a singer Magic finger, a magic finger It didn't stay too long
