Lyrics

Lick the Knives

[instrumental solo]
[Verse 1]
We're gonna leap the creek where’s much to wide to cross
We're gonna walk the plank just to feel our footing lost
We're gonna crash and burn like we don’t care about our lives
And until your mama comes home we're gonna lick the knives

[Verse 2]
You think I've got a wall of stone, I say I’m gonna tear it down
You think you’ve got a friend but I’ve got a very frightening frown
Still know the safest place to be is right here by my side
And when we’re sitting all alone we’re gonna lick the knives

[chorus]
I’m licking edge-wise and sometimes I out that I bleed
But my life is all all more real through the danger of this awful need
We're gonna step off 20 stories. falling down without a net
Still, I’ll take that sure losing bet
[instrumental solo}

[Verse 3]
We're gonna the split difference or we’re gonna split open heads
We’re gonna take it higher, pass along what spreads
We’re gonna be heroes wanted alive or dead
But here, right now, we’ll laugh at life, we’ll eat it up, and lick the knives.
[chorus]
I’m licking edge-wise and sometimes I out that I bleed
But my life is all all more real through the danger of this awful need
We're gonna step off 20 stories. falling down without a net
Still, I’ll take that sure losing bet

(Verse 4]
We're gonna the split difference or we’re gonna split open heads
We’re gonna take it higher, pass along what spreads
We’re gonna be heroes wanted alive or dead
But here, right now, we’ll laugh at life, we’ll eat it up, and lick the knives.

lick the knives.
lick the knives.
lick the knives.
lick the knives.
