Ringfinger
Revision as of 17:32, 8 March 2008 by Miraculous (talk | contribs)
"Ringfinger" is the tenth and final track on the 1989 release Pretty Hate Machine, telling about a man who is devoted to a woman who refuses to commit to him and his outrage at her using him, even though he does truly desire her. The demo version of this song was called "Twist," composing of the same basic music but different lyrics and a slightly more victimizing subject matter.

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 flesh and bone And offer it to me You just leave me nailed here Hanging like Jesus on this cross I’m just dying for your sins And aiding to the cause Ringfinger Promise carved in stone Deeper than the sea Ringfinger Sever flesh 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 flesh 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”
