Sticky Fingers
Above & Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We painted the picture you want
I wanted it too
But now there's something that I
Would like you to do

Get your sticky fingers out of my head
Get your sticky fingers out of my head
It's not that I'm ungrateful for
The chance to dream and then explore
But your elegant dinosaur limbs
Are still willfully bruising my skin

Get your sticky fingers out of my head
Get your sticky fingers out of my head

Get your sticky fingers out of my head
(Get your sticky fingers out of my head)
Get your sticky fingers out of my head
(Get your sticky fingers out of my head)
Get your sticky fingers out of my head
(Get your sticky fingers out of my head)
Get your sticky fingers out of my head
(Get your sticky fingers out of my head)

Get your sticky fingers out of my head
Get your sticky fingers out of my head

Get your sticky fingers out of my head




(Get your sticky fingers out of my head)
Get your sticky fingers out of my head

Anyone who isn't sure on this songs quality on first listen.. Try listen to it another 3 times or so! It WILL grow on you! Absolute gem by the masters.

@adambgunn

This happened to me also... actually the whole Acoustic II CD was sort of ho-hum for me but I listened to it a few more times in the last two days and wow.. I am sooo hooked. It's absolutely masterful.

@haringfan1

Mr. Vargas's voice is outstanding as proven here and on 'Acoustic.'  Please use him as often as possible.
