Knife on the Platter
Lies an actress after the stage
Full of contempt
Contemplative
Exhausted and betrayed
She is always rehearsing
"If you reveal no secrets" she said
"I have no use for you
History will laugh at your
Lazy hip smug fatalism"
She had knife on the platter
Knife, knife, knife, knife
Knife on the platter
She said tonight the draw doesn't matter
Mind over matter
Knife, knife, knife, knife
She reveals the truth in cliche
Hits her mark by the candelabra
Believe in projection
Like a mask you wear it
Like a sentence pressed to the page
She's unwilling to compromise
Time dances on the stage
Breathing new history
"If you neglect the secret" she said
"I have no use for you
Mystery will laugh at your
Lazy hip smug fatalism"
She had knife on the platter
Knife, knife, knife, knife
Knife on the platter
She said tonight the draw doesn't matter
Mind over matter
Knife, knife, knife, knife
She reveals the truth in cliche
Hits her mark by the candelabra
Believe in projection
Like a mask you wear it
Believe in suspension
Don't you make it not happen
