The Knife Feels Like Justice lyrics

With that he cold new england wind
Blowin’ through my hair
As my blood and whisky
Run through me as one
Didn’t anybody hear her silent scream
Didn’t anybody see his twisted grin

All the neighbours wept and cried
By her shallow grave
And her momma prayed the lord her soul to take
And her daddy stood alone he swore revenge
And the haunted river flowed with blood again

You got me jumpin’ like a cat strung up on a wire
Waiting for the sandman to put me to sleep
I got a no show take it slow waiting for the whistle blow
No where job on a dead end street
You ain’t got a minute when the siren sounds
Gotta get movin’ to the underground
But I gotta woman gonna love me through the night
Slippin’ and slidin’ and holding me tight

They took the coal from the mountains, ripped the fruit from the soil
Pulled the fish from the sea, drained the earth of it’s oil
Took the christ out of christmas, pulled the sun from the sky
Their daddies told them to never ask why

The barbwire fence is gettin’ higher and higher
We’re gettin’ ready to fight fire with fire

I don’t want to go to sleep and toss and turn all night
I don’t want to look up and see shadows I believe all right
Don’t want to get lost on a road so long
Your legs get tired and you fall to the ground
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Don’t want to get drunk just to sleep at night
My head starts spinning a triple with wine

The rains never came I saw my land die
Maria was sleeping when I kissed her goodbye
I couldn’t stand the sound of my children cryin’ no more
You get hungry you get mad
A man without hope is a man that turns bad
I’ll try my luck in texas adios mexico

Wipe away your tears maria
There’s a better life for us somewhere
Let me see you smile maria

It’s a late cool autumn evening
And the sunset melts into night
With a v-twin throbbing beneath me
And my head’s spinning allright
Ritchie and me we started as kids
In a rock ’n’ roll band on the street where we lived
It’s a long hard ride till the morning
As the trees and wind start to sing

Chains around your heart that bind
Break away and leave them behind

So you think that you have found a better life then you should live
And you are through giving it all away, wish there was something I could say
By the time you looked into the mirror and saw someone else looking back
I wish I could find the words but there’s nothing that even comes close
Cause there ain’t nobody ever looked at me without looking right through me

Well c'mon, man, I hear that Bobby's back
from being upstate
He learned his lesson, so they say, well I guess we'll
wait and see
He's got a new corvette, he says it does a hundred
and twenty, easy
Got some catchin' up to do, some crazy score to settle
When I first heard Bobby's back, the first thing
that I thought of
Was how his chic like up and left with some guy
she just met

You stepped in and dark tuned to light
I knew right there you were the breath of life
Just when I'd given up the fight
I knew right there you were the breath of life
Just when the morning had lost it's bitter bite
Ooh, ooh! you never think your heart will butterfly
Ballerina, don't you dance your life away
Those years meant nothing 'til this cold December day!
