Album: Death Of A Ladies' Man

Fingerprints Lyrics

I touched you once too often 

 Now I don't know who I am 

 My fingerprints were missing 

 When I wiped away the jam 

 Yes I called my fingerprints all night 

 But they don't seem to care 

 The last time that I saw them 

 They were leafing through your hair 

 

 Fingerprints, fingerprints 

 Where are you now my fingerprints? 

 

 Yeah I thought I'd leave this morning 

 So I emptied out your drawer 

 A hundred thousand fingerprints 

 They floated to the floor 

 

 You know you hardly stopped to pick them up 

 You don't care what you lose 

 Ah you don't even seem to know 

 Whose fingerprints are whose 

 

 Fingerprints, fingerprints 

 Where are you now my fingerprints? 

 

 And now you want to marry me 

 You want to take me down the aisle 

 You want to throw confetti fingerprints 

 You know that's not my style 

 

 O sure I'd like to marry you 

 But I can't face the dawn 

 With any girl who knew me 

 When my fingerprints were on 

 

 Fingerprints, fingerprints 

 Where are you now my fingerprints? 

 

 Fingerprints, oh fingerprints 

 Where are you now my fingerprints?
