Tongue Like a Knife Songtext
von Squeeze

The head of a hunt on the wall by a painting
An upright piano stood locked by the door
In through the window, the light was fast fading
While I spilled my whiskey all over the floor

Making a mess of my words, so I′m trying
To impress the empress with my wimpy tales
Fitting her face from cigar smoke and sighing
I had come close to be miles from her trail

She was a jewel that sparkled in darkness
She was the love of everyone's life
She was the catch at everyone′s parties
She was the one with a tongue like a knife

Her bosom curved perfectly lit by the fire
My mind launched away in a sea of its own
Her grace and her tightness I had to admire
Through a horse breath of stories I happily told


Trespassing, my hand fell into hot water
She shot like a bullet right out of her chair
She led me away and I was then slaughtered
By the warmth of her body, all of her care

Her tongue cut away and the wound slowly opened
I lay on the sails of the ship of romance
Drunk as I could be, broker than broken
The head of my heart was there in my hands

She was a jewel that sparkled in darkness
She was the love of everyone's life
She was the catch at everyone's parties
She was the one with a tongue like a knife

A tongue like a knife
A tongue like a knife
Oh, a tongue like a knife
A tongue like a knife
Oh, a tongue like a knife
A tongue like a knife
Oh, a tongue like a knife
