lyrics

There must be something in the water that drives you like a lamb to slaughter. You’d think you clowns would get the picture. You’re the sin and my knife’s the scripture. There’s a full moon tonight over Twelfth Street. I’ll see you there with a rusty knife. There must be something in the earth that cursed and blessed me from my birth. Some cosmic force that caused the sadness, that made the anger that made the madness. And the gospel’s our fight. I’ll say it in this song. You think I might choke but you ain’t no killer, you’re a gospel gone wrong. There must be something in the air 'cause my eyes are red and I slicked back my hair while looking for the button marked fast reverse. There’s something wrong with the universe. There’s a full moon tonight over Twelfth Street. I’ll see you there with a rusty knife. Let the trumpets play their joyous sounds in the sea spray. I kissed you in the graveyard. You kissed me beneath a dark star. Let the sermons ring their holy prayers before the Knife King. I kissed you in the middle of the street before I said I had a gang to meet. Patron saint of the Rusty Knife. There must be something in the sky that made us all crazy and I don’t know why. Whenever it rains I kiss the ground and sing to the clouds but hear no sound. There’s a full moon tonight over Twelfth Street. I’ll see you there with a rusty knife. Let the trumpets play their joyous sounds in the sea spray. I kissed you in the graveyard. You kissed me beneath a dark star. Let the sermons ring their holy prayers before the Knife King. I kissed you in the middle of the street before I said I had a gang to meet. Patron saint of the Rusty Knife.
