- Straight For The Knife Lyrics / with translationsPut on my best dress
I wanted to impress
I put a little make-up on
Put a bow in my hair, wore pretty underwear
Hoping you might take it off
Don't know your etiquette but
I'm strapped to my chair
And it ain't cause you're pretty
You were charming until
You saw your chance to kill
Your chance to make a story
You went straight for the knife
And I prepared to die
Your blade it shines
Look me straight in the eye
You turn the gas on high
Held the flame alight
You wonder why I'm scared of fire
You wonder why you make girls cry
My mascara a mess
Harsh words for your princess
Boy you and your promises
If your goal was to love
You scored an epic mess
Now you'll just have memories
You went straight for the knife
And I'm prepared to die
You play it chimes
Look me straight in the eye
Turn the gas on high
Put the flame alive
You wonder why I'm scared of fire
You wonder why you make girls cry
Boy you're drowning again
I'm hungry for your better loving
But will someone find me swinging round after
I'm hanging on your every word
You went straight for the knife
And I'm prepared to die
You play it chimes
Look me straight in the eye
Turn the gas on high
Put the flame alive
You wonder why I'm scared of fire
You wonder why you make girls cry
I wanted to impress
I put a little make-up on
Put a bow in my hair, wore pretty underwear
Hoping you might take it off
Don't know your etiquette but
I'm strapped to my chair
And it ain't cause you're pretty
You were charming until
You saw your chance to kill
Your chance to make a story
You went straight for the knife
And I prepared to die
Your blade it shines
Look me straight in the eye
You turn the gas on high
Held the flame alight
You wonder why I'm scared of fire
You wonder why you make girls cry
My mascara a mess
Harsh words for your princess
Boy you and your promises
If your goal was to love
Now you'll just have memories
You went straight for the knife
And I'm prepared to die
You play it chimes
Look me straight in the eye
Turn the gas on high
Put the flame alive
You wonder why I'm scared of fire
You wonder why you make girls cry
Boy you're drowning again
I'm hungry for your better loving
But will someone find me swinging round after
I'm hanging on your every word
You went straight for the knife
And I'm prepared to die
You play it chimes
Look me straight in the eye
Turn the gas on high
Put the flame alive
You wonder why I'm scared of fire
You wonder why you make girls cry
