Fingers In The Wounds

  • It just takes a hero, you stand in his shadow
    You walk in his shoes with feet made of clay
    So who is the sinner and who is the prophet?
    The rules of the game that you're gonna play

    So put your fingers in the wounds and pray that he's god
    A roll of the dice for a piece of his cloth
    It just takes a hero from a nickel or a dime
    Take a pearl from an oyster and feed it to swine

    We all want to be you, for a glimmer of hope
    There's not enough gold at the end of your rope
    And no one can hear you, your life is a zero
    You only can be what the people, they see

    So put your fingers in the wounds and pray that he's god
    A roll of the dice for a piece of his cloth
    It just takes a hero from a nickel or a dime
    Take a pearl from an oyster and feed it to swine

    Over and over
    Over and over

    So put your fingers in the wounds and pray that he's god
    A roll of the dice for a piece of his cloth
    It just takes a hero from a nickel or a dime
    Take a pearl from an oyster and feed it to swine

    So put your fingers in his wounds and pray that it's god
    A roll of the dice for a piece of his cross
    It just takes a hero from a nickel or a dime
    Take a pearl from an oyster and feed it to swine Writer/s: Paul Dickinson, Roger Ramirez
