wrapped around your finger - the police

5:12



you consider me the young apprentice

caught between the scylla and charibdes

hypnotized by you if i should linger

staring at the ring around your finger

i have only come here seeking knowledge

things they wouldnt teach me of in college

i can see the destiny you sold

turned into a shining band of gold

ill be wrapped around your finger

ill be wrapped around your finger



mephistophelles is not your name

but i know what youre up to just the same

i will listen hard to your tuition

and you will see it come to its fruition

ill be wrapped around your finger

ill be wrapped around your finger



devil and the deep blue sea behind me

vanish in the air youll never find me

i will turn your face to alabaster

then you will find your servant is your master

and youll be wrapped around my finger

youll be wrapped around my finger

youll be wrapped around my finger
