The Alan Parsons Project

You're Gonna Get Your Fingers Burned

Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons

Watch me closely catch my eye

If you do I Beg you to remind me

Who is stronger who is Weak of those who seek

And don't know where to find me

Ask me why, I don't know

You ask Me why and I say

Now you see me now you don't

I thourght by now you'd learned

You're gonna get your Fingers burned

Watch me closely understand

That what you see is only an illusion

If I'm wrong and you are right

Then I will Light your darkness with confusion

Ask me why I don't know

You Ask me why and I say

Chances are you're playing with fire

I thought by now you'd learned

You're gonna get your fingers burned

Watch me closely be aware

That All I do is only to surprise you

Every move is Sleight of hand

And every word is planned to mystify you

You ask me why, I don't know

You ask me why and I say

Don't get fooled a second time

I thought By now you'd understand

You're gonna get your fingers burned
