My Friend My Friend Lyrics - Rift - Phish

My friend, my friend he's got a knife 

A statement from his former life 

When he was easy but alone 

Beside him was an empty throne 

But what of silver silken blade 

Affix his gaze, his features staid 

Grasps the handle, clips the cable 

One steps up, sits at his table 

My friend, my friend, he's got a knife 

My friend, my friend, he's got a wife 

My friend, my friend, the clever ruse 

Persuasion through his thoughts peruse 

A hidden relic from his past 

That wasn't there when he looked last 

He feels it ticking like a bomb 

Feeding fear, assaulting calm 

Takes the object, starts the game 

Moves closer to the flame 

My friend, my friend, the clever ruse 

My friend, my friend, he lights the fuse 

My friend, my friend, he's got a knife 

My friend, my friend, he's got a knife 

My friend, my friend, he's got a knife 

Knife
