Lyrics

Knife

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.

Here is a knife

Here is a pointy, daggery knife

Here is a knife

And it's pointing to you

Here is a life

Here is a tender, trembling life

Here is a life

And it's quivering under you

Here is a dream

Here is a sweet and terrible dream

Here is a dream

And we're in the middle of it

Oh, come off it

Not again

Do we have to go through all of this again?

All of this again

Here is a knife

Here is a pointy, daggery knife

Here is a knife

And it's pointing to you
