about

They can come out almost anytime for almost any reason. But take it easy and watch for them, one day at a time. Let go and let the muse.

lyrics

"WHEN THE KNIVES COME OUT"

1. In good times, bad times
Sickness and health
Deep down in the gutter
In the excesses of wealth
With the rising cream
Through the whispered screams
Where I'm slowly tearing at the seams
All the sins that I don't excuse
All the offers I won't refuse
Lifted up in Triumph
Or bathed in doubt
That's when the knives come out
That's when the knives come out
That's when the knives
That's when the knives
That's when the knives come out

2. Daytime, nighttime
Solar eclipse
When I'm gloriously clueless
When I'm tragically hip
While I'm choking back the tears
When I'm pushing back the years
With all the pride before the fall
While I'm storming the castle wall
When I'm left here wondering what it's all about
That's when the knives come out
That's when the knives come out
That's when the knives
That's when the knives
That's when the knives come out

3. When all the layers are peeled away
When there are no more lies to say
In the burning pangs of the love
From down below and up above
In the darkness before the dawn
The king kneeling before the pawn
For richer, for poorer, in rain, in drought
That's when the knives come out
That's when the knives come out
That's when the knives
That's when the knives
That's when the knives come out
