Switchblade

(album: If Not Now, When? - 2011)

I keep getting attacked by
The girl in the black hat
The girl in the black hat
I can't find any shade but
I'll be suede as long as
I've got a switchblade

I keep getting the eye from
The girl in the thigh highs
The girl in the thigh highs

Those irises of jade are built
To persuade and they're
Swift like a switchblade

Switchblade, switchblade
They're swift like a switchblade
Switchblade

Nobody wears it like you anymore
Nobody wears it like you anymore

Light like a feather
Bright like a dying star
Cut those together
Girl, that is what you are
Wild eyes forever
Built to punish and persuade
I'd like to get her
But all I got was a switchblade
A switchblade

So just give me the facts
Who's the girl in the black hat
The girl in the black hat

I can't find any shade but
I'll be suede as long as
I've got a switchblade

Think I'm getting a rise
On her American thighs
Her American thighs

She's got her black hat
And irises of jade
And I got a switchblade
Switchblade
Yes, I've got a switchblade

Nobody wears it like you anymore
Nobody wears it like you anymore

Light like a feather
Bright like a dying star
Cut those together
Girl, that is what you are
Wild eyes forever
Built to punish and persuade
I'd like to get her
But all I got was a switchblade
A switchblade

Nobody wears it like you anymore
Nobody wears it like you anymore

I keep getting attacked by
The girl in the black hat
The girl in the black hat
I can't find any shade but
I'll be suede as long as
I've got a switchblade

Light like a feather
Bright like a dying star
Cut those together
Girl, that is what you are
Wild eyes forever
Built to punish and persuade
I'd like to get her
But all I got was a switchblade
A switchblade
