Lyrics for Song: Hot Knives
Lyrics for Album: Cassadaga [2007]
The wife forgave the mistress; for she only entertained.
The pain was gone the instant she cleared her throat to speak her name.
Said, "Both of us must suffer from the same unending ache."
The world was not of interest, through her days were never dull.
Her bed beneath a crucifix on guests performing miracles,
With the son of god just hanging like a common criminal.
When I do wrong I am with god, she thought.
When I feel lost I am not at all.
So give me black light. (Give, give me.)
So give me hot knives. (Deep clean sleep.)
On a dance floor no one tells time. (There is no time.)
Oh, I've made love, yeah, I've been fucked, so what?
I'm a cartoon, you're a full moon, let's stay up.
She went to see a mystic who made medicine from rain,
And gave up her existence to feel everything, dream others' dreams.
Bid farewell to her family with one ecstatic wave, (Please take care. I love you all.)
Out the window as the car rolled away.
She just vanished into a thick mist of change.
So let us rejoice, (Let's rejoice!)
In all this pink noise. (Out pink noise!)
An oscillation that we can pin point. (We're right here!)
