Kimono Lyrics - Singles - Jackknife Stiletto

silk 

stretched out 

surrounds the pale 

touched 

by all 

who pull the veil 

She pulls the silk tight, 

and turns down the lights. 

The knot was slit in two; 

threads he pulled and held onto. 

She said 

leave me alone.. 

You sliced the knot 

but never pulled the right thread, 

& then you left me for dead. 

She said 

leave me alone.. 

I've had enough 

of the crown on your head. 

This queen has jumped from your bed. 

She's told you a thousand times: 

Your voice whispers secret crimes. 

Don't close your eyes for fantasy. 

She's praying hard for your misery. 

She said 

leave me alone.. 

You sliced the knot 

but never pulled the right thread, 

& then you left me for dead. 

She said 

leave me alone.. 

I've had enough 

of the crown on your head. 

This queen has jumped from your bed. 

She says to 

leave me alone, now 

Don't close your eyes for fantasy 

She said 

leave me alone.. 

You sliced the knot 

but never pulled the right thread, 

& then you left me for dead. 

She said 

leave me alone.. 

I've had enough 

of the crown on your head. 

This queen has jumped from your bed.
