The Knife lyrics

If I was a bird
I would fly high over the world
Come home at night to your garden
Build a nest among the branches
And I'll comb your hair with my beak

If I was a bird
I would count my time in pearls
Under my wings you'll find shelter
You'll breed bugs and keep me well fed
And I proclaim the reason why I'll have to fly

But you wanted me to be a girl

In the middle of nowhere
When we're looking for something
Then we raise our heads for the colour red
I am too a spirit and a wonderer
And I welcomed the dew as much as you did

When we're looking for brushwood
In the nearest neighbourhood
Then we follow the sky with the eye
We search vegetation
And surprised by the rain
We're stumbling, tripping home again

Something's gotten all over my head
And it won't leave me alone
Neon when you come on

Something's gotten all over my head
And it won't let me go
Neon when you come on

Something's got a hole in my head
And I didn't know
Neon when you come on

Something's got a hole in my head
And I didn't know
Neon when you come on
(And you) Come on

It brings a new type of grace

Somebody saw me
Watching school girls on their knees
But I don't know why
I am a schoolgirl's dream
I am a hunger ready to eat
But I don't know why

I just had to die
(aaaaaaa....)

Somebody saw me
Watching school girls on their knees
But I don't know why
I am a schoolgirl's dream
I am a hunger ready to eat
And I can't tell you why

I had this urge to die

I take time

I take time

I ride your bullet from the south
A different taste in my mouth

I ride your bullet from the south
A different taste in my mouth

I take time

I ride your bullet from the south
A different taste in my mouth

(Laughter)

I'm a crusader
I'm the darkest lady
I'm the taste on your tongue

I'm Darth Vader
I know what I'm made of
Cause I was warmed by the sun
The sun

You're looking for me
But it's not what you seek
I've got a twisted personality

You're a crusader
You're the darkest lady
I like the taste of your tongue

You are Darth Vader
I know what you're made of

This is our last goodbye
Now you should be holding me

Punkrock t-shirt, black cap and tatoo
The first things I noticed about you

Now you should be holding me
Now you should be holding me

Reindeer, reindeer, reindeer
I caught one of your horns
And even if it rains here
It's much worse in the north

Reindeer, reindeer, reindeer
I caught one of your horns
And even if it rains here
It's much worse in the north

And you move like shadows
In the dark
And you glitter and you glimmer
And you bark

Hooves light as feathers
The sleigh this year is heavier

I heard a puff, I heard a blow
I felt the ground, I felt the snow
I thought of linen and of lace
I never really saw his face
I heard a grunt, I heard a moan
I felt the sand, I saw the moon
I saw the northern light above
The eclipse of the sun
I am a breath, I am a wish
I am a rocket and a fish
I felt his measures and his weight
My own body as a scale
I heard a whisper in my ear

Charlotta making lasagna with me above the clouds
Charlotta making lasagna with me above the clouds

But you could have waited
You could have locked yourself up for ten years or so
And when you finally came out there would still be new chances for you

Charlotta running around with Felicia
Charlotta running around with Felicia

But you could have waited
