Three Little Words

(album: The Life And Times Of Mike Fanning - 2000)

When the streets shoot fire
While the thunderbolts roll
And the bloodshot demons run free
That's when I see her again
Within the pit of my heart
Staring out of the past into me

We stood there together
On the edge of forever
In the shadows of a pale moonlight
And I never seen a woman
Looking better than she did
On that lonely deep dark hot summer night...

Well my body was tremblin
And my soul was achin
But I saw my salvation in her eyes
So I held out my hand
And said those Three Little Words
That I've been holding for so long inside...

Pull my finger
Pull my finger
I'm beggin you please
Why don't you Pull my finger

Pull my finger
Pull my finger
I'm down on my knees
Why don't you Pull my finger

Maybe I don't know what I'm askin you for
And maybe I know it ain't right...
Won't you pull my finger baby
Till the morning light

I said "I gotta get out
I gotta get out of here again
I gotta get going away
If you're never gonna give me the answer that I need
I ain't waiting till the end of the day..."
So I got on my bike
And headed out on the road
At a hundred million miles an hour...
And I drove all night
And then the road opened up
To a raging pit of burning fire...
And as my bike cranked out through the gates of hell
I thought about a hockey game!

Duchesne brings the puck up towards the center line
Looks for the open man
Passes over to Hunter who takes a shot from the point!
Wide left...
Puck bounces into the crease
Broflovski and Marsh duking it out for control
Marsh with control, passes it up to Krygier
Krygier sends it to the blue line for Steeples
Pass intercepted by K'neth and...
Oh! crushing check from Carrizzo sends K'neth into the boards!
Steeples comes up with the puck
It's a two on one
He jukes and now only the goalie stands between him and the net
Steeples charging, Hextall comes out to meet him
It's the moment of truth
He dekes!
Hextall hits the ice
And it looks like he has an empty net...
Holy cow!
