lyrics

KNIFE BOY

non-chalantly stifled
let us reach into this bag for a voice
brutal mary begs to wield
two weapons of my choice
like sour apples, love affairs
will only last a while
so infantile - try me
who's game for the shame
he tried to sell
when he gave me hell
coz i chose the larger knife

fuel feuding stops a flame
break out a jamboree
poison lily, that's her name
but it's all too dim to see
bitter turns and impulse ride
don't check your eyes
open wide - try me
a game hen with no soul
she's up for sale and bound to fail
coz i chose the larger knife

deadbeater in the workshop
got a hand upon the golden ring
fuedal fairies damn the fools
who taught the cats to sing sing sing
this tin pan castle closed its gates
and cast down to the shore
bow down to the sword - try me
another spineless hack
no matter what he does
he'll always fail
coz i hold the larger knife

-February 1995
