Mr. Sticky Fingers
Alex Who? Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mister sticky fingers got you falling out of bed
Pulling all your triggers while he′s fucking with your head
If there's a price to having him you′ll surely pay it twice
Cause honey you ain't seen it yet he's trouble in disguise
I know cause this is where he comes at night

Swore he′d never make me cry
Promised me a thousand times
Every time it hurt

All those empty alibis
Weren′t quite enough to hide
Your perfume on his shirt

But honey its alright
In fact i sympathize
And you'll know why
When your crying on the floor

Mister sticky fingers
Stuck on you no more

Mister sticky fingers what you gonna tell me now
How′s it your so full of shit and yet so hollowed out
Dont come talking history you won't get very far
It′s clearly not a mystery why history we are
And I'm not gonna feed your selfish heart

Swore he′d never make me cry
Promised me a thousand times
Every time it hurt

All those empty alibis
Weren't quite enough to hide
Your perfume on your shirt

But honey its alright
In fact i sympathize
And you'll know why
When your crying on the floor

Mister sticky fingers
Stuck on you no more

(Na na na na)
Stuck on you no more
(Na na na na)
Stuck on you no more
Oh so what you call me for?

Swore he′d never make me cry
Promised me a thousand times
Every time it hurt

All those empty alibis
Weren′t quite enough to hide
Your perfume on your shirt

But honey its alright
In fact i sympathize
And you'll know why
When your crying on the floor





Mister sticky fingers
Stuck on you no more

Mister sticky fingers got you falling out of bed
Pulling all your triggers while he’s fucking with your head
If there’s a price to having him you’ll surely pay it twice
Cause honey you ain’t seen it yet he’s trouble in disguise
I know cause this is where he comes at night

Swore he’d never make me cry
Promised me a thousand times
every time it hurt

All those empty alibis
Weren’t quite enough to hide
Your perfume on his shirt

But honey its alright
In fact i sympathize
And you’ll know why
When your crying on the floor

Mister sticky fingers
Stuck on you no more

Mister sticky fingers what you gonna tell me now
How’s it your so full of shit and yet so hollowed out
Dont come talking history you won’t get very far
It’s clearly not a mystery why history we are
And I’m not gonna feed your selfish heart

Swore he’d never make me cry
Promised me a thousand times
every time it hurt

All those empty alibis
Weren’t quite enough to hide
Your perfume on your shirt

But honey its alright

And you’ll know why
When your crying on the floor

Mister sticky fingers
Stuck on you no more

SupremeCannon

Cardiac arrest at 24. Rare condition or some kind of pharmaceutical I'd guess.
