Ringfinger
"Ringfinger" is the tenth and final track on Pretty Hate Machine.
Lyrics
Well you’ve got me working so hard lately
Working my hands until they bleed
If I was twice the man I could be
I’d still be half of what you need
Still you lead me and I follow
Anything you ask you know I’ll do
But this one act of consecration is what I ask of you
Ringfinger
Promise carved in stone
Deeper than the sea
Ringfinger
Sever flash and bone
And offer it to me
You just leave me nailed here
Hanging like Jesus on this cross
I’ll be dying for your sins
And aiding to the cause
Ringfinger
Promise carved in stone
Deeper than the sea
Ringfinger
Sever flash and bone
And offer it to me
Wrap my eyes in bandages
Confessions I see through
I get everything I want
When I get part of you
Ringfinger
Promise carved in stone
Deeper than the sea
Ringfinger
Sever flash and bone
And offer it to me
Ringfinger
Promise carved in stone
Deeper than the sea
Ringfinger
Devil’s flesh and bone
Do something for me
I’m so tired I can’t get to sleep
And the squeaking of the bed is right in time with the song that’s repeating in my head
I just want you to know
“When I do it, I only think of you”
