Hot Knives

Lyrics for Hot Knives

The wife forgave the mistress for she only entertained The pain was gone the instant she cleared her throat to speak her name Said, "Both of us must suffer from the same unending ache" The world was not of interest, though her days were never dull Her bed beneath a crucifix on guests performing miracles With the son of God just hanging like a common criminal "When I do wrong, I am with God" She thought "When I feel lost, I am not at all" So give me black light (give, give me) So give me hot knives (deep, clean sleep) On a dance floor no one tells time (there is no time) So I've made love Yeah, I've been fucked So what? I'm a cartoon You're a full moon Let's stay up She went to see a mystic, who made medicine from rain And gave up her existence to feel everything, dream other's dreams Bid farewell to her family with one ecstatic wave (please, take care I love you all) Out the window As the car rolled away She just vanished Into a thick mist of change So let us rejoice (let's rejoice) In all this pink noise (out, pink noise) An oscillation that we can pinpoint (we're right here)
