Fingertips Lyrics

Buxton Fingertips

I didn't have the love to give
I broke it with my fingertips
And I broke every promise that I made
Some in love and some in vain

And I jumped the fence once the cop cars came
And in the dark you called my name
You said "Robert E., I love you still."
And, "Do you feel the way i feel?"

But you were down and you were out
And you were so torn up inside
That you begged me not to look you in the eye

We split like a serpent's tongue
When mama cried, "It's time to come home!"
And the gasoline spilled from your lips
As you lit up your cigarette

And you were down and you were out
And you were so torn up inside
That you begged me not to look you in the eye
