|See in me the side of you  
See in me the side of you  
That sometimes makes you jump with fright
that sometimes makes you jump with fright
Smiler with knife it's your big night
smiler with knife, it's your big night


Sinking bed, all warm and clean
Sinking bed all warm and clean
Only sadness waits for me
only sadness waits for me
Smiler with knife you're just in time
smiler with knife, you're just in time
You're just in time


Press the blade against my skin
Press the blade against my skin
Never to make love again
never to make love again
Smiler with knife it's alright
smiler with knife, it's alright


Surrender will I am before you
Surrendered will I am before you
I am sick to death of life
I am sick to death of life
Smiler with knife, alight
smiler with knife - alight
Alight


If such things weren't meant to be
If such things weren't meant to be
Then they would never come to me
then they would never come to me
Smiler, oh, don't worry so
smiler, oh, don't worry so


Slamming one shots, gentle pain
Slam-in one-shots gentle pain
Someone calling out my name
someone calling out my name
Sex and love are not the same
sex and love are not the same
Are not the same


Time has frittered long and slow
Time has frittered long and slow
All I am and was will go
all I am and was will go
But where to and why now?
but where to?
and why now?


When my last breath falls away
When my last breath falls away
Smiler, trust me when I say:
smiler trust me when I say
"You'll be OK"
you'll be OK
"You'll be OK"
you'll be OK.

Lyrics

See in me the side of you
that sometimes makes you jump with fright
smiler with knife, it's your big night

Sinking bed all warm and clean
only sadness waits for me
smiler with knife, you're just in time

Press the blade against my skin
never to make love again
smiler with knife, it's alright

Surrendered will I am before you
I am sick to death of life
smiler with knife - alight

If such things weren't meant to be
then they would never come to me
smiler, oh, don't worry so

Slam-in one-shots gentle pain
someone calling out my name
sex and love are not the same

Time has frittered long and slow
all I am and was will go
but where to?
and why now?

When my last breath falls away
smiler trust me when I say
you'll be OK
you'll be OK.
