The Cult

Honey from a Knife

Verse 1

A' running down Lafayette
My bloody shirt soaked through
[She got me running]
 
I was beaten and confused
On a New York City ruse
[She got me running]
 
My filthy hands and feet
On a dirty city street
[She got me running]
 
The banshee, no one care
With a heart of a beaten dog
[She got me running]

Post-
Verse

My wild Indian heart was pounding
I was … ^[running so fast]
My wild Indian heart was pounding
I was … ^[running so fast]

Chorus

[We got the drugs, we got the drugs]
[We got the drugs, drugs in here]
[We got the drugs, we got the drugs]
[We got the drugs, drugs in here]

Verse 2

And all the children are loving the camera
Turn their face into the light
[She got me running]
 
Can you take the pace much faster
Licking honey from a knife
[She got me running]

Post-
Verse

My wild Indian heart was pounding
I was ^[running so fast]
My wild Indian heart was pounding
I was ^[running so fast]

 
Bridge

Backings (layered)
[Hoh-hoh-oh-ohh-ohh-ho-ho]
[Hoh Hoh-oh-ohh Ohh-ho-ho-hoh]
 
Let the water, let it all out
Yeah, I'm drowning, get me out of this place
Let the water, let it all out
Well, I'm drowning, get me out of this place
 
Let it out, let it out, let it out, let it out

Let the water, let it all out
Yeah, I'm drowning, get me out of this hell

Chorus

[We got the drugs, we got the drugs]
[We got the drugs, drugs in here]
[We got the drugs, we got the drugs]
[We got the drugs, drugs in here]
 
[We got the drugs, we got the drugs]
[We got the drugs, drugs in here]
[We got the drugs, we got the drugs]
[We got the drugs, drugs in here]
