Blade

I took my blade and I cut him deep
And the blood bloomed red on his crisp white shirt
For your party guests to see
I could have won in the night
I could have slit his throat in his sleep
But I wanted you to see
The company you keep

I thought we went together
Like violence on a balmy night
I thought being alone with a violet man
Made you feel alright
Can you get away tonight

And your father said follow the money to the source
That’s what life is all about
Then you eff the source
Till the money comes out

You said that I’m a brute
Cause I fell faster than you
But I’ve got a heart that’s true
And there’s nothing that I won’t do
To get away with you

Smile lines are slender in her eyes
She’s the dark clouds swirling in my skies
And the cocktail chatter all starts to dim
Like a Doppler away from me she spins
On the blue black sea she starts to swim
She betrayed me oh now on a whim
To get away with him

I took my blade but I couldn’t get it all to drain
I could see him bleeding differently
Like teardrops in the rain
