Sticky Fingers
Alex Vargas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

We painted the picture you want
We created an image that matches your desires
I wanted it too
I also desired it
But now there's something that I would like you to do
However, I have a request for you now
Get your sticky fingers out of my head
Stop trying to control or manipulate me mentally
It's not that I'm ungrateful for
I appreciate the opportunity
The chance to dream and then explore
To have the freedom to imagine and discover
But your elegant dinosaur limbs
Your powerful and imposing physical presence
Are still willfully bruising my skin
Are still causing me harm despite your elegance
Get your sticky fingers out of my head
Once again, stop trying to control me mentally
Get your sticky fingers out of my head
