Peaches and Crime Taking Up the Knife Lyrics Peaches And Crime lyrics

The time has come for you to go to bed, baby
I've laid out the feather pillows and sheets of red, baby
So there won't be any stains from anything you've bled
Cuz tonight I'm taking up the knife

When we started out together it was all sunshine
But you started going round doing wrong to me and mine
And if we're doing onto others well that suits me fine
Cuz tonight I'm taking up the knife

You hurt me and you spurned me as my hatred grew
and thought you could erase it with an (I love you…)
Uh huh… and it would be pretty sad if that were actually true
Cuz tonight I'm taking up the knife


Well you ain't too pretty and you ain't too bright
And you ain't got the sense to treat a good girl right
So you better say your prayers before you turn out the light
Cuz tonight I'm taking up the knife

The time has come for you to go to bed, baby
So lay down your weary body and rest your head, baby
And close your eyes for one last time before you're dead
Cuz tonight I'm taking up the knife
