"SwitchBlade" © 2004 Giovanni Mandala

Here I am with my life in your hands
Waiting for the light to change
Colors flashing back and forth
Still I hang there just the same
Wonderin’ why I played your game
Through my head you’re reeling
And this switchblade in my back
Leaves me stunned and bleeding

Well I’m jumpin’ off this train
Your face is fading away
This could be the last time I Cry
Cuz, baby I’m drawing the line
I’m drawing the line

Take that switchblade outta my back
Cuz, I ain’t looking back to see you
Gotta let go of this pain
Walk out of the rain without you

Carved a canyon thru my back
And still more blood you crave
And it’s a bloody wicked jack
From that cold cold steel blade
Like a deer in your headlights
I was caught no turning back
You’ve takin’ everything I’ve got
Still I get nothing back

Well I’m jumpin’ off this train
Your face is fading away
This could be the last time I Cry
Cuz, baby I’m drawing the line
I’m drawing the line

Take that switchblade outta my back
Cuz, I ain’t looking back to see you
Gotta let go of this pain
Walk out of the rain without you
Gotta head full of insane
Carvin’ out your name
Well there’s nothing you can say
Cuz I’m runnin’ away without you

You might just cry just a little
Like the depths of the ocean
There’s no light in sight--
My days of crying just a little
Are over now the sun is shining bright
I ain’t looking back to see you Walk out of the rain without you
head swelled insane
Carvin’ out your name
nothing you can say
Gotta let go of this pain
Cuz I’m runnin’ away
Jumpin’ off this train

Well I’m jumpin’ off this train
Your face is fading away
This could be the last time I Cry
Cuz, baby I’m drawing the line
I’m drawing the line

Take that switchblade outta my back
Cuz, I ain’t looking back to see you
Gotta let go of this pain
Walk out of the rain without you
Gotta head full of insane
Carvin’ out your name
Well there’s nothing you can say
Cuz I’m runnin’ away without you
