A Thousand Knives

(album: Cat Scratch Fever - 1977)

You've been getting desperate;
Scratching at my wall.
Suicidal misfit;
it's time you took your fall.

I've ducked a lot but like a thousand knives;
Their cutting into you babe.
It happens to you everyday.

I was just a schoolboy;
Doing as I please.
Young girls in the classroom;
They was putting on the squeeze.

I've ducked a lot but like a thousand knives;
Their cutting into you babe.
It happens to you everyday.

I've ducked a lot but like a thousand knives;
Listen to what I say.
The time has come for you to pay.

Now I won't listen to your two cents;
To run and hide is your only defense
A thousand knives, oh yea.

Now your on the rebound;
You know just how it feels.
A copulated misfit;
With the good housekeeping seal.

I've ducked a lot but like a thousand knives;
Their cutting into you baby.
It happens to you everyday.

Now I won't listen to your two cents;
To run and hide is your only defense.
