Hide The Knives

In the light of the kitchen 
The steel of the blade catches my eye 
Alluring like tin foil
To a nesting magpie 

The black eye you gave me
Was well deserved 
But I come with a warning babe
Haven't you heard?

So I tried to bite your ear off
It's just what lovers do
You shouldn't mix alcohol 
With Psycho Sue

A complete lack of empathy
A very short fuse
With this weapon concealed 
You have everything to loose

Just goad me once more
And then we'll see
Blood soaked sweat pants
And a night in A&E

In a split second I snap
And thrust the blade in deep
I don't call an ambulance
I laugh as you weep

Blood lubricates your grip
With fear you can't cope
Your phone slips through your hands
Like a wet bar of soap

The wound is a good one
Straight through your thigh
It seems like a major artery 
Maybe you'l die

The paramedics arrive first
And then the police
Such a commotion 
All I want is some peace

They'll take me away
Try to lock me in a cell
But I know I can rely on you babe
To tell them I'm not well

Tomorrow you'l take me back
Like it never happened, we'll pretend
You've paid a high price 
For your trophy girlfriend

I'll promise to change 
And never drink again of course
But just look into my eyes
I feel no remorse

I'll keep you happy in the bedroom 
How you'l love all my tricks
Best check under the matress though
For hidden ice picks

Yes I 'll make it up to you I suppose 
We'll pretend to live our happy lives
Until the next time...
You'd better hide the knives
