Lyrics
The First Cut
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The first cut is a criminal thing
The first cut goes deeper in
Each impression
Makes a chain reaction
Each impression
Will never be never be never be broken
I'm a white girl, you can see my skin
Look at this picture that I 'm living in
And old scores
Never settle down
I'll keep on walking
Till I'm burried in the cold ground
Cold ground
Cold cold ground
