Hacksaw

Standin' on the corner, under and iron-spike spotlight
Black smoke lashes, painted ruby red delight
Cigarette glow, and a thigh-high invite
Into the deep, dark night
Graphite moonlight
Sharpen the fangs Whet your appetite

Tear the flesh, from the bone
Free from the cage, but so alone
So you pull the knife, across fragile skin
Let it cut in, like a hacksaw
Like a hacksaw

Crawlin' from the cracks, of the back alley twilight
Cut sharp as an axe, the patient wolf so polite he's a delight
The twenty-twenty vision Of the butcher's floor in hindsight
The touch of parasite, feels quite alright
Even despite, the blood on the walls

So tear the flesh, from the bones
Free from the cage, but so alone
So you pull a knife, across fragile skin
Let it cut in, like a hacksaw
Like a hacksaw
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
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

Oh you tear the flesh, from the bones
Free from the cage, but so alone
So you pull the knife, across fragile skin
Let it cut in, like a hacksaw
Like a hacksaw
Like a hacksaw
Like a hacksaw
Like a hacksaw
