Hey, why you got a black dagger in your hand?
Hey, why you got a black dagger in your hand?
Yeah alright, it’s a lot
What’s your name, I forgot?
I’m just trying to keep it even, try to keep it even with me

Hey, I heard you had a bad motor in your head
Hey, why’d you let that slick fella in your bed?
Now you’re gone with a bang
And your jet-setter slang
Can you come up with a reason not to see the devil in me?

I know I can’t keep explaining the knife buried in your back shoulder
I know it’s only a matter of time before we’re just bored and older
I’ve tried and tried to keep it inside even as the crush gets colder
I know I can’t keep explaining the knife buried in your back shoulder

Hey why you got a black dagger in your hand
Hey why you got a black dagger in your hand
You got time for a smoke?
What a drag, what a joke
You’re just trying to find a reason, trying to find a reason to leave
