Hot Knives
[Intro]

x 4
[Verse]
G G G C G G G C
The Wife forgave the Mistress for she only entertained
G G G C G G G C
The pain was gone the instant she cleared her throat to speak her name
Em C
Said, "Both of us must suffer from the same unending ache"
[Instrumental]
GGGC
x2
[Verse]
G G G C G G G C
The world was not of interest though her days were never dull
G G G C G G G C
Her bed beneath a crucifix on guests performing miracles
Em C GGGC
x2
With the Son of God just hanging like a common criminal
Am C GGGC
x2
When I do wrong I am with God, she thought
Am C GGGC
x2
When I feel lost I am not at all
[Chorus]
Bm
So give me Black Light (Give Give me)
C
So give me Hot Knives (Deep Clean sleep)
Am D
On a dance floor no one tells time (There is no time)
[Verse]
Am C GGGC
x2
Oh, I've made love, yeah, I've been fucked, so what?
Am C GGGC
x2
I'm a cartoon, you're a full moon, let's stay up
G G G C G G G C
She went to see a Mystic who made medicine from rain
G G G C G G G C
And gave up her existence to feel everything, dream others' dreams
Em C GGGC
x2
Bid farewell to her family with one ecstatic wave (Please take care I love you all)
Am C GGGC
x2
Out the window as the car rolled away
Am C GGGC
x2
She just vanished into a thick mist of change
[Chorus]
Bm
So let us rejoice (Let's Rejoice!)
C
In all this Pink Noise (Out Pink Noise!)
Am D
An oscillation that we can pin point (We're right here!)
AmC
x5
Am C D
End
G
