Bright Eyes - Hot Knives lyrics

The wife forgave the mistress
For she only entertained
The pain was gone the instant
She cleared her throat to speak her name
Said, "Both of us must suffer
From the same unending ache"

The world was not of interest
Though her days were never dull
Her bed beneath a crucifix
On guests performing miracles
With the Son of God just
Hanging like a common criminal
"When I do wrong, I am with God"
She thought "When I feel lost, I am not
At all"

So give me black light, so give me hot knives
On a dance floor, no one tells time
Oh, I've made love, yeah, I've been fucked
So what?
I'm a cartoon, you're a full moon
Let's stay up

She went to see a mystic
Who made medicine from rain
And gave up her existence
To feel everything, dream others' dreams
Bid farewell to her family
With one ecstatic wave

Out the window as the car rolled away
She just vanished
Into a thick mist of change

So let us rejoice in all this pink noise
An oscillation that we can pinpoint
