Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You watch them do the falling over
You watch them do, do the standing still
[Verse 2]
Nothing but the knife to live for, one life all I need
Give me one good reason, give me more
[Verse 3]
Women, and the women come and go
It's talk, talking about me like they know
Men bought and sold, and the world keeps turning
People cold and people burning
[Verse 4]
Nothing but the knife to live for, one life all I need
Give me one good reason, give me more
[Verse 5]
Wait
[Verse 6]
Nothing but the knife to live for, one life all I need
Give me one good reason, give me more amphetamine logic
[Verse 7]
Hit up, steel in hand
Lit up like candles
Burning like Catherine wheels
Turning on
[Verse 8]
Nothing but the knife to live for, one life all I need
Give me one good reason, give me more
Nothing but the knife to live for, one life all I need
Give me one good reason, give me more
Nothing but the knife to live for, one life all I need
Give me one good reason, give me more amphetamine logic
Nothing but the knife to live for, one life all I need
Give me one good reason, give me more amphetamine logic
Nothing but the knife to live for, one life all I need
Give me one good reason, give me more amphetamine logic
Nothing but the knife to live for, one life all I need
Give me one good reason, give me more
