Knife On The Platter
Bodega
Lies an actress after the stage
Full of contempt, contemplative
Exhausted and betrayed
She is always rehearsing
If you reveal no secrets, she said
I have no use for you
History will laugh at your
Lazy, hip, smug fatalism
She a knife on the platter
Knife, knife, knife, knife
Knife on the platter
She said tonight the draw doesn’t matter
Mind over matter
Knife, knife, knife, knife
She reveals the truth in cliché
Hits her mark by the candelabra
Believe in projection
Like a mask, you wear it
Like a sentence pressed to a page
She’s unwilling to compromise
Time dances on the stage
Breathing new history
If you neglect the secret, she said
I have no use for you
Mystery will laugh at your
Lazy, hip, smug fatalism
She a knife on the platter
Knife, knife, knife, knife
Knife on the platter
She said tonight the draw doesn’t matter
Mind over matter
Knife, knife, knife, knife
She reveals the truth in cliché
Hits her mark by the candelabra
Believe in projection
Like a mask, you wear it
Believe in suspension, ha
Don’t you make it not happen
