I Ate the Knife

It's all over

Before I saw

Before I took

Too soon to see

That there was nothing

Left for me

She sang low a lullaby

Will I really fail at every single thing I try

And will the moon eclipse the sun

I ate the knife

And the knife won

There comes a time

In each dumb life

When each of us

Must feed his wife

And love her true

And never hurt

And do the things

That you must do

She sang low a lullaby

Will I really fail at every single thing I try

And will the moon eclipse the sun

I ate the knife

And the knife won

(I have born this ragged ride

exposure has made me deride)

And there's a joke

That has a twist

And does not end in wedded bliss

She sang a low lullaby

Will I really fail at every single thing I try

And will the moon eclipse the sun

I ate the knife

And the knife won

It's all over
