Lyrics

You were the juggler, and I was the clown
We watched the pretty woman on the tightrope frown
And the bearded lady, and the men who throw knives into the air
They’ve got 4 fingers and they just don’t care

Knives are sharp and knives move fast
They butter bread and they serrate the past
They can stab a stranger or stick a pig a dove a lamb
Kill with a knife you’ve got blood on your hand

Knives, knives
Knives knives
Knives knives
Fly like butterflies

Place an apple on top of your head
But if you flinch your neck is red
And if we trust each other to take good aim then in the end
Maybe that knife will become your friend

Knives, knives
Knives knives
Knives knives
Fly like butterflies
