Butterknife

from Every Drop Disorganized by The Chewers

/

lyrics

Jack is bleeding by the roadside
Sally's in the car
The trunk is full of silver trinkets
Sky is full of stars

There was a time they were content
to get what they could take
Sometimes a lamb will eat a lion
when there's something else at stake

It was
only a
Butterknife
That's all it
was

Jack is full of beer and anger
Sally's full of space
He'd cost her more than she had earned
and he could be replaced

Their eyes are locked across the distance
A whisper is a shout
Both their questions have an answer
they'll never figure out

It was
only a
Butterknife
That's all it
was

Jack curls up into a ball
and slowly goes to sleep
Sally pulls him to the water
he doesn't make a peep

Life for him was short and hot
Her's is long and cold
He is floating down a river
she's driving down a road

It was
only a
Butterknife
That's all it
was
