Standing on the corner
Under an iron spike spotlight
Black smoke lashes
Painted ruby red delight
Cigarette glow
And a thigh high invite
In the deep night
Of graphite moonlight
Sharpen the fangs
Whet your appetite
Tear the flesh
From the bone
Free from the cage
But so alone
Pull the knife
Cross fragile skin
Let it cut in
Like a hacksaw
Crawling from the cracks
Of the back alley twilight
Cut sharp as an axe
The patient wolf so polite He's a delight
The 20/20 vision
Of the butchers floor in hindsight
The touch of a parasite
Feels quite alright
Even despite
The blood on the walls
Tear the flesh
From the bone
Free from the cage
But so alone
Pull the knife
Cross fragile skin
Let it cut in
Like a hacksaw
I can see what I despise
Behind your eyes
In a hollow chamber I reside
But you broke me free
You cut me loose
And I still despise
What I see behind your eyes
But you're helping me to realize
And to fantasize
About a heart ripped free
Unconfined
Tear the flesh
From the bone
Free from the cage
But so alone
Pull the knife
Cross fragile skin
Let it cut in
Like a hacksaw
