NUR EIN! Fingers Crossed lyrics
Fingers Crossed - Inflatable Vegetables
Maybe I'm not worthy to untie your Gucci sandals
I am merely human, and you are from Los Angeles
Your smile's inviting
I think tonight
I'm gonna fight to be your guy
Fight to be your guy
Chorus
Baby I will try for you
I got my fingers crossed
Maybe I will lie to you
I got my fingers crossed
Got em crossed behind my back
We could be so close like that
Got my fingers crossed
Got my fingers crossed
Don't be looking down at me for sporting rubber slippers
I'm not stank and greasy, I'm into easy hippy wear
Do you like dancing?
Parlez-vous Francais?
Gonna plan to be your man
Plan to be your man
Repeat Chorus
You look so silk and smoking
Your tribal tats are showing
Looking in the mirror behind you
I can see
You've got your fingers crossed, too
Repeat Chorus

Fingers Crossed
-strangelove
I am feeling lucky
I got my fingers crossed
There's a new dawn coming
Yeah I got my fingers crossed
Things are going my way
Well, for far too long Iv'e felt I've felt the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, but now I think that things are turning around my way
Things are going my way
After being down so long I'm slowly clawing my way back, yeah I am crawling slowly forward to a brand new day
I'm not looking backward
Only moving forward
I am feeling lucky
I got my fingers crossed
There's a new dawn coming
Yeah I got my fingers crossed
Things are going my way
I'm not looking backward
Only moving forward
Things are going my way

FINGERS CROSSED
MICAH SOMMERSMTIH
Stark and rough like animal
Thought there were still thorns and vines
Saw me feeling nothing more
Toxic mercy all along
All alone and tempest tossed
Trying to find the life I lost
I've seen earthquakes, wind, and frost
Climbing on with fingers crossed
I'm not superstitious
But to find the truth you're missing
Just take this song and flip it, give a listen
Fingers crossed you'll get it
Get it?
But I'm not superstitious
Stark and rough like animal
Thought there were still thorns and vines
Saw me feeling nothing more
Toxic mercy all along
All alone and tempest tossed
Trying to find the life I lost
I've seen earthquakes, wind, and frost
Climbing on with fingers crossed

Re: NUR EIN! Fingers Crossed lyrics
Fingers Crossed
Lichen Throat
In jail for sixteen years,
My eyes are drained of tears.
No reasonable doubt,
They’ll never let me out.
I’m not guilty.
I’m not guilty.
They’re cooking my last meal.
I get down and kneel.
Fingers crossed,
Not all hope is lost
Before I exhaust
My very last appeal.
My cell is eight feet wide.
There’s nowhere I can hide.
I grasp these iron bars,
My hands covered with scars.
I’m not guilty.
I’m not guilty.
Nothing left but fear.
I am locked in here,
Fingers crossed,
Now all hope is lost.
Like an early frost,
I'm soon to disappear.
I didn't do what they said I did,
But I did something worse.
I don't think I'll ever get rid
Of this self-inflicted curse.
My lonely life is done.
Nowhere left to run.
Only hours left
Before I face my death.
I'm not guilty,
But I'm guilty:
With every selfish thought
I tie the hangman’s knot.
Fingers crossed,
Not all hope is lost;
I'll pay any cost
For the mercy I have sought.

Fingers Crossed
Lucky Witch & the Righteous Ghost
you were the bringer of light
the brightest star, the son of the morning
the most beautiful of us
said we deserved to rule like gods
your words were dulcet and sweet
but you were the father of lies
we disobedient sons
followed you to revolution
chorus
I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven
cast down to the realm of the dead
rather rule in hell than serve in heaven
cast down to the depths of the pit
great dragon, the wailing yell
led the deceitful charge
at the left hand of the Master
talking to God with fingers crossed
your pride was your weakness
the light would overcome
you were thrust out of heaven
and we followed you down
chorus
(solo)

'Cos it's easy bettin' that we are through
My fingers are crossed

Your departure will only bring cheer

Re: NUR EIN! Fingers Crossed lyrics
Fingers Crossed
By Cavedwellers
Perverse
The wheels of progress
Might go flat in the abyss
But there's no reward without risk
The future always knew this
Verses one
The lamb was obliterated
Then perfectly reanimated
Reduced into particles
Then beamed to the carnival
Pre chorus one
As fast as the light
The pattern’s all right
She seems just the same
Insight and in name
Chorus
Hold on forever
To worthless endeavor
The meaning might never be lost
I might become nothing
The answer is coming
While I wait I keep my fingers crossed
Intro
Perverse two
We reinvent travel
To reduce the hassle
The glorious first step
Could result in my death
Verse two
Did the ghost come with me?
Haunting my energy
Reconfigurating
All parts of the machine
Pre chorus two
It feels like the night
And freedom of flight
It's wild and untamed
Inside of the flame
Chorus (forward English)
Chorus (backward-English backwards)
Chorus (backward-English forward)
Tsahrk zergneef eeahm peek ya tayoo ya leeyahyoo
Gneemuhk zih ressnah uth
Gneethun muhkeeb teeyahm ya
Tsall eeb reven teeyahm gneeneem uth
Revedneh selltheroo oot
Reveroaf nah dloh

Fingers Crossed (psychedelic prose version)
Boffo Yux Dudes
Just 'cause
Your hands
Are 'hind
Your back
Doesn't make it right
I've watched
Your eyes
And see
You're hiding something
Doesn't make it right
(Chorus)
You've got your fingers crossed
You think that it's enough
To get away with it
But you're wrong.
3rd grade
You could
Get away
With that
Doesn't make it right
I've got
You down
You can't
escape
Doesn't' make it right
(Chorus)
You've got your fingers crossed
You think that it's enough
To get away with it
But you're wrong.
Years on
So old
But now
I see
You haven't changed at all
Still hold
Your hand
Behind
Your Back
You haven't changed at all
(Chorus)
You had your fingers crossed
You thought it was enough
To get away with it
But you're wrong.

Though we all went out to vote in the spring of '32
The changes coming wouldn't stop, the flames that they would induce
We thought that we had won on the thirteenth of March
And again in the April vote, but the workers would tear us apart
Won't you keep your fingers crossed
That even though he may have lost
We can somehow keep the people free
Won't you keep your fingers crossed
That we won't have to pay the cost for
Implementing the Reichstag Fire Decree
Hindenburg was president in January '33
And still in February when he would sign the decree
The national socialists would be able to take control
When Hindenburg would die, that would be the final blow
Won't you keep your fingers crossed
That even though he may have lost
We can somehow keep the people free
Won't you keep your fingers crossed
That we won't have to pay the cost for
Implementing the Reichstag Fire Decree
I feel the walls are coming down
Holding back the power of the evil clown
Pen and ink stole our liberty
Won't you keep your fingers crossed
That even though he may have lost
We can somehow keep the people free
Won't you keep your fingers crossed
That we won't have to pay the cost for

Fingers Crossed
by Merisan
Cutting back, cutting down
Taking more than you can give
Feel the weight of the world
Looking for a way to live
Hope not all is lost
But I keep my fingers crossed
can’t afford the cost
Better keep my fingers crossed
Ocean of blood, mountain of bone
Slipping through our hands again
Live and die, decompose
One more song, one more man
Hope not all is lost
But I keep my fingers crossed
I can’t afford the cost
Better keep my fingers crossed
I cross my fingers, cross my eyes.
Repeat through entire bridge
Hope not all is lost
But I keep my fingers crossed
I can’t afford the cost
Better keep my fingers crossed
Hope not all is lost
But I keep my fingers crossed
I can’t afford the cost

Here it comes again, out of nowhere
I can feel my body freeze to ice
My heart is beating
Like I have been running for hours
I start to shiver
My brain is melting to goo
Calm down, everyone loves you
Calm down, you got everything under control
You just got lost for a second
You got everything under control
Anxiety has got a hold on me
I got my fingers crossed, I can make it
Deliver me from this adversity
I got my fingers crossed, but oh, I'm getting lost
I'm getting lost
I'm getting lost
Sitting on a chair, calmly breathing
Nothing here that could trigger me now
But it's not on me
To decide when it's time
I'm falling over
Hallelujah, I am concrete
Can't move a finger, but everything's OK
Can't say a word, but you got everything under control
Just wait, relax baby, come down
You got everything under control
(chorus)
Swirling in my head
Crawling to the bed
Knowing I shall wake up
In a pool of sweat
Ah, it's all the same
So it's here again
And I shit my pants
Man, this never ends
Am I going insane?
(...ύοτυαε ανομίαδ νοτ άταΚ ,ύοτυαε ανομίαδ νοτ άταΚ ,ύοτυαε ανομίαδ νοτ άταΚ)
Anxiety has got a hold on me
I got my fingers crossed, I can make it
My brain is melting to goo
Κατά τον δαίμονα εαυτού
I got my fingers crossed, but oh, I'm getting lost
I'm getting lost
I'm getting lost
----------------------
"Κατά τον δαίμονα εαυτού", which is inscribed on Jim Morrison's grave, may be translated as "True to your own spirit". Note, however, that a "daimon" (which is where the word "demon" comes from) is an external guiding spirit that lives within, but is not part of oneself. This spirit may be kind and loving, but not necessarily so. In the context of this song, the phrase refers to the character's turmoil and the dilemma of whether to follow or to fight the inner demon.

Fingers Crossed
by Jerkatorium
When I told you that I love you
well I had my fingers crossed.
When I said that I’d be true to you,
you better bet my fingers were crossed then too.
Cross my heart and hope to die,
I had my fingers crossed each time
and so that’s why I won’t apologize
for any of my little white lies.
Chorus:
I had my fingers crossed,
I can’t be held responsible for what I said.
I had my fingers crossed,
Made promises when I meant the reverse instead.
When I said you’re looking great today
I had my fingers crossed.
When I said that dress looks good on you
you know I must’ve had my fingers crossed then too.
When you find out secondhand
I kissed your sis at Disneyland,
don’t reprimand, just understand
you should’ve kept your eyes on my hands.
[Chorus & guitar solo]
At the church when I said “I do,"
well I had my fingers crossed.
When I signed that marriage license
it’s a lie, since I still had my fingers crossed then too.
Yeah my fingers did a twister
then I went and kissed your sister,
and if you’re pissed about that tryst I guess
you should’ve kept your eyes on my wrist.
[Chorus x2]
by Jerkatorium
When I told you that I love you
well I had my fingers crossed.
When I said that I’d be true to you,
you better bet my fingers were crossed then too.
Cross my heart and hope to die,
I had my fingers crossed each time
and so that’s why I won’t apologize
for any of my little white lies.
Chorus:
I had my fingers crossed,
I can’t be held responsible for what I said.
I had my fingers crossed,
Made promises when I meant the reverse instead.
When I said you’re looking great today
I had my fingers crossed.
When I said that dress looks good on you
you know I must’ve had my fingers crossed then too.
When you find out secondhand
I kissed your sis at Disneyland,
don’t reprimand, just understand
you should’ve kept your eyes on my hands.
[Chorus & guitar solo]
At the church when I said “I do,"
well I had my fingers crossed.
When I signed that marriage license
it’s a lie, since I still had my fingers crossed then too.
Yeah my fingers did a twister
then I went and kissed your sister,
and if you’re pissed about that tryst I guess
you should’ve kept your eyes on my wrist.
[Chorus x2]

Re: NUR EIN! Fingers Crossed lyrics
Fingers Crossed
by Skub
when you play pretend
pretend doesn't always end
I'm back and I'm pissed! You suckers put up with this?
You showed me how to get ahead is just to lie
You can't handle the truth
It doesn't go down smooth
So let me make it easy for you to decide
Distortion! Saturation!
I'll compress the information
Until it's something that you'll never forget
I'll make it big, make it simple
Say it over and over, 'til you can't get it out of your head
Fingers crossed behind my back that you wont twig
My max-bombast is bluster,
Bark I muster,
Mark my words
Are only that
By now you have heard that I've got the best words
It is an art to deal bullshit
And when my mask is slippin'
I say dog you trippin'
I never hid that I was hiding it
Because everybody knows that this is just for show
To turn a fabrication to a fact
I'm hoping that you buy my never-ending lies
Love means never having to say
"I take it back"

Fingers Crossed
By Zed Dead Baby
You've got your fingers crossed
No matter what you do
Whether you're white, black, woman
Or a kangaroo
You've got your fingers crossed
No matter what you say
And yet I stand here
Voting for you anyway
You've got your fingers crossed
And we all know it's true
And yet the thing that people
Fight and die to do
Is just to have a chance
to try and take a chance
On you
Lining on up
Lining on up like fools
Lining on up
Lining on up like fools
It's something we've got to do
Here I stand in the land of the free
In the house that you have built for me
House rules, house wins again
Lining on up
Lining on up like fools
Lining on up
Lining on up like fools

Fingers Crossed by ROTR
Why hope? Why pray?
Nothing every turns out my way
I wish that I’d told her
To throw a little salt over her shoulder
One thing I know
There’s no changing the way things go
It’s true You’ll find
You do better when you leave it behind
Whatever works for you
If you believe then it’s true
You gotta do whatever it takes
To make yourself feel better
Cross hearts Knock wood
It’s never gonna do me any good
Black cats Step on cracks
Break all the other mother’s backs
One thing I know
There’s no changing the way things go
It’s true You’ll find
You do better when you leave it behind
Whatever works for you
If you believe then it’s true
You gotta do what you gotta do
Fingers crossed that you’ll do better
Why hope? Why pray?
Nothing every turns out my way
I wish that I’d told her
To throw a little salt over her shoulder
One thing I know
There’s no changing the way things go
It’s true You’ll find
You do better when you leave it behind
Whatever works for you
If you believe then it’s true
You gotta do whatever it takes
To make yourself feel better
Cross hearts Knock wood
It’s never gonna do me any good
Black cats Step on cracks
Break all the other mother’s backs
One thing I know
There’s no changing the way things go
It’s true You’ll find
You do better when you leave it behind
Whatever works for you
If you believe then it’s true
You gotta do what you gotta do
Fingers crossed that you’ll do better

Re: NUR EIN! Fingers Crossed lyrics
Verse 1.
Wake up, I should wake up
Fingers crossed, I get another day
Wake up, I should wake up
Black men dying, missiles flying, beautiful spring day?
Verse 2.
Wake up to cold coffee
Dead girl walking, turn off Netflix, play
Wake up, I should wake up,
Got no fucks to give about propriety today
Chorus.
Got no fucks to give, fingers crossed
Got no fucks to give, mismatched socks
I should find some true integrity
Oh fingers crossed I don’t die young
Breakdown.
Fingers crossed, don’t die young x 2
Also! Lyric video with scrolling lyrics: https://youtu.be/dfofveg_4MQ

73 KEEP IT BEAUTIFUL
I don't know how to be where you are
I didn't think you could be this bizarre
so far
and I'm hoping that you're lost
no one heard you shout
and your luck ran out
for the good that it might do I'll keep my fingers crossed
I don't think I can see if you're there
it doesn't matter to me if you care
I swear
and I'm hoping that you're lost
no one heard you shout
and your luck ran out
for the good that it might do I'll keep my fingers crossed
you say you don't understand me
and you stand your ground
it's like you can't even hear things
the right way around
(backwards solo)
and I'm hoping that you're lost
no one heard you shout
and your luck ran out

You’re under attack
Better watch your back
They fly in stealth mode
They steal your money and clothes
Keep your fingers crossed and your eyes open
Keep your enemies close and your friends closer
Keep your fingers crossed and your eyes open
Live your comfortable life in a large enclosure
They’re under your skin
Listening in
Stealing your stash
Going through your trash
Keep your fingers crossed and your eyes open
Keep your enemies close and your friends closer
Keep your fingers crossed and your eyes open
Live your comfortable life in a large enclosure
Protect the ones you love
With your fingers crossed
Keep the wolves at bay
While the parents are lost
Keep your fingers crossed and your eyes open
Keep your enemies close and your friends closer
Keep your fingers crossed and your eyes open
Live your comfortable life in a large enclosure
You’re under attack
Better watch your back
They fly in stealth mode
They steal your money and clothes
Keep your fingers crossed and your eyes open
Keep your enemies close and your friends closer
Keep your fingers crossed and your eyes open

Keep your enemies close and your friends closer

Keep your fingers crossed and your eyes open
Keep your enemies close and your friends closer
Keep your fingers crossed and your eyes open

Fingers Crossed
It can't be helped
I must be careful or I'll jinx myself
There's what is precious, and what can be shelved
It's no big loss
With my fingers crossed
Sadness lies
You pick your battles, and you strategize
and try to stay away from active lies
The hat gets tossed
With my fingers crossed
And like most of life
It's all a balance
Trip, and you might drop
But, with any luck
We learn to work with
Everything we've got
'Though we must be brave
Exploring places where the road's unpaved
And no one ever will emerge unscathed
I'll take my spot
With my fingers crossed
Stand and breathe
Clear my mind, and find out what I need
To be as logical as I can be
More like Spock
With my fingers crossed
And like most of life
It's all a balance
Trip, and you might drop
But, with any luck
We learn to work with
Everything we've got
[SOLO]
It can't be helped
