Hey, why you got a black dagger in your hand?
Hey, why you got a black dagger in your hand?
Yeah alright, it's a lot
What's your name, I forgot?
I'm just trying to keep it even
Try to keep it even with me

Hey, I heard you had a bad motor in your head
Hey, why'd you let that slick fella in your bed?
Now you're gone with a bang
And your jet-setter slang
Can you come up with a reason
Not to see the devil in me?

I know I can't keep explaining the knife
Buried in your back shoulder
And I know it's only a matter of time
Before we're just bored and older
I've tried and tried to keep it inside
Even as the crush gets colder
But I know I can't keep explaining the knife
Buried in your back shoulder

Hey, why you got a black dagger in your hand?
Hey, why you got a black dagger in your hand?
You got time for a smoke?
What a drag, what a joke
You're just trying to find a reason
Trying to find a reason to leave

I know I can't keep explaining the knife
Buried in your back shoulder
And I know it's only a matter of time
Before we're just bored and older
I've tried and tried to keep it inside
Even as the crush gets colder
But I know I can't keep explaining the knife
Buried in your back shoulder

I know I can't keep explaining the knife
Buried in your back shoulder
And I know it's only a matter of time
Before we're just bored and older
I've tried and tried to keep it inside
Even as the crush gets colder
But I know I can't keep explaining the knife
Buried in your back shoulder
