Aliveralungakidneyathumb Lyrics - Hide The Kitchen Knives - The Paper Chase

(The slow circling of the drain) 

How could you 

Let it in your house 

And let it in your bed? 

Between the wall inlay 

Another shiv instead 

So how did it taste 

When you kiss it on the face? 

To when the blue eyes sail in from the north 

I guess you do what you do 

If you need to fill some empty space 

Anything you need from me 

The eight arms around you? 

Another heart to pound for you 

Another set of awkward lungs 

We breathe up the air of men 

We don't pretend 

A liver a lung a kidney a thumb 

Lies in some heart of some beloved 

Because the best part is 

You never know just what they're capable of 

(Slow circling of the drain, the slow circling of the drain) 

Sleep with the fishes! 

(No one, really knows anyone, no one, really knows anyone) 

We do what we do 

To fill the empty space 

We do what we do 

To fill the empty space 

So what do I do 

Oh, I'm running out of space! 

Oh what do I do 

When the claws dig in and drag me from this place 

You'll never live to see the ocean 

You'll never live to see this sky 

You'll never live to see any garden 

and drag the river and comply 

So clamp it like a compass 

And let me know where I should be 

And when it's cold and snowy 

Melt the blood you froze in me 

(I smell it on my sheets for days 

I smell it in my room 

I smell it on my hands for weeks 

These dirty hands all over you) 

Anything you need from me 

The eight arms around you 

Another heart to pound for you 

Another set of awkward lungs 

We breathe up the air of men 

We don't pretend 

A liver a lung a kidney a thumb 

Lies in some heart of some beloved 

Because the best part is, the best part is 

(sleep with the fishes) 

You can sleep with the fishes 

before I sleep with you 

My little nest of vipers, 

My little miss know-it-all, 

My little nest of vipers, 

My little miss know-it-all 

Drive carefully dear
