Lyrics for The Cutter
Who's on the seventh floor Brewing alternatives? What's in the bottom drawer Waiting for things to give? Spare us the cutter Spare us the cutter Couldn't cut the mustard Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Come to the free for all With seven tapered knives Some of them six feet tall We will escape our lives Spare us the cutter Spare us the cutter Couldn't cut the m-m-mustard Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Am I the happy loss? Will I still recoil When the skin is lost? Am I the worthy cross? Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off? Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Ocean Watch the fingers close When the hands are cold Am I the happy loss? Will I still recoil When the skin is lost? Am I the worthy cross? Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off? Am I the happy loss? Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off?
