Switchblade, switchblade my lovely friend
I held you so close we two till the bitter end
One pierce one cut one was one too much
For you my love I offer my blood

Pen knife, pen knife C’mon all cheer
For the words we sing conjures tears
One word, a mutter, with such restrain
For me my love scribe me your pain

Stiletto, my stiletto
Will I, may I see you again tomorrow?
One on one: we two in your room
We need not be bride or groom

One pierce one cut one was one too much
For you my love I offer my blood
