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
