Just Stand Back
Low · Great Destroyer
I can't decide
And I can't hide
Make up my mind
It's a waste of time
Here comes the knife
You better just stand back
I could turn on you so fast
It's a hit
It's got soul
Steal the show
With your rock and roll
With a swing like that
You better just stand back
I could turn on you so fast
Just like diamonds in your hand
I'll just cut you in the end
The end
One more step
And I'll slit your neck
You'll get used to it
You better just stand back
I could turn on you so fast
I could turn on you so fast
I could turn on you so fast
(Just like diamonds in your hand)
I could turn on you so fast
I could turn on you so fast
And I can't hide
Make up my mind
It's a waste of time
Here comes the knife
You better just stand back
I could turn on you so fast
It's a hit
It's got soul
Steal the show
With your rock and roll
With a swing like that
You better just stand back
I could turn on you so fast
Just like diamonds in your hand
I'll just cut you in the end
The end
One more step
And I'll slit your neck
You'll get used to it
You better just stand back
I could turn on you so fast
I could turn on you so fast
I could turn on you so fast
(Just like diamonds in your hand)
I could turn on you so fast
I could turn on you so fast
