  • I took my blade, and I cut him deep
    And the blood bloomed red
    On his crisp white shirt
    For your party guests to see
    I could've run in the night
    I could've slit his throat in his sleep
    But I wanted you to see
    The company you keep

    I thought we went together
    Like violence on a balmy night
    I thought being alone with a violent man
    Made you feel all right
    Can we get away tonight

    And your father said
    Follow the money to the source
    That's what life is all about
    Then you fuck the source
    'Till the money comes out

    You say that I'm a brute
    'Cause I fell faster than you
    But I've got a heart that's true
    And there's nothing that I won't do
    To get away with you

    Smile lights the slander in her eyes
    She's the dark clouds swirling in my skies
    And the cocktail chatter all starts to dim
    Like a doppler, away from me she spins
    On a bloom light sea, she starts to swim
    She betrayed me, all now on a whim
    To get away with him

    I took my blade
    But I couldn't get it all to drain
    I could see him bleeding differently
    Like teardrops in the rain Writer/s: JENKINS STEPHAN DOUGLAS
