Red-Headed Stranger
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.
I put this knife to your face
I stick this rusty blade in
I'd cut off everything you held so dear
What would they think of you, my dear
now that your face has been sawed off?
Everyone would see what I see
A demon in tight jeans
'Cause I am sick and nauseous from this
And your life is so meaningless right now
All the stops are coming up
and baby, you don't even seem to care
'Cause I know
but you never ever told me
We know you could never let this go
Mirror, mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall say
I know you could never let this go
Well, this could mean the end of everything
because it's everything you know
(Well this could mean the end of,
this could be the end of your heart, your heart)
Tonight will mean the end of everything
because it's everything you know
(tonight could mean the end of,
well this could be the end of your heart, your heart)
'Cause I know
but you never ever told me
We know you could never let this go
Mirror, mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall say
I know you could never let this go
You gain a pound
and you call it a catastrophe
I read your mind
tell me something I don't know
Call me crazy
but I think I love you anyway
Call me crazy
Tell me something I don't know
Well, this could mean the end of everything
because it's everything you know
(Well this could mean the end of,
this could be the end of your heart, your heart)
Tonight will mean the end of everything
because it's everything you know
(tonight could mean the end of,
well this could be the end of your heart, your heart)
So brace yourself
(brace yourself)
Brace yourself
(brace yourself)
Brace yourself
(brace yourself)
Brace yourself
(brace yourself)
I take this knife to your face
I stick this rusty blade in
I'd cut off everything you held so dear
What would they think of you, my dear
now that your face has been sawed off?
Everyone would see what I see
A demon in tight jeans
(my hands are red, your heart is heavy
my hands are red, your heart is)
My hands are red, your heart is heavy
My hands are red, your heart is
My hands are red, your heart is heavy
My hands are red, your heart is
My hands are red, your heart is heavy
My hands are red, your heart is
My hands are red, your heart is heavy
My hands are red, your heart is
Beauty is a backstab
it's a backstab
Beauty is a backstab
it's a backstab
Beauty is a backstab
it's a backstab
Beauty is a backstab
it's a backstab
Beauty is a backstab
it's a backstab
Beauty is a backstab
it's a backstab
Beauty is a backstab
it's a backstab
Beauty is a backstab
it's a backstab
'Cause I know
but you never ever told me
We know you could never let this go
Mirror, mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall say
I know you could never let this go
(beauty is a backstab, it's a backstab)
