KNIFE   1. Couldn't be more'n a year ago, you got back from Kansas. It's clear you're feeling better. Bet you don't hurt so bad.   More like a needle than a knife.   What's it been? Say a couple of years since you crashed that car. Meant to tell you, "Sorry 'bout the kid," but you weren't around that long.   More like a needle than a knife.   You're looking good; I can hardly tell where you hit the glass. Doctors, surgeons nowadays, they got a touch like magic.   2. You think it's time you got some work? I know it can't be easy going back to how things used to be, but there's the rent, you know, the groceries.   More like a needle than a knife.   I got a cousin with a friend who's pretty damn pretty. I think you ought to take her out. You need a little dose of everyday life if you're ever going to stop those nightmares.   More like a needle than a knife.   Easy there, easy; he doesn't mean anything by it. Just trying to stir things up on a Saturday night. Relax. Enjoy the band. Have a drink.   3. If I understood you right, the problem is not, how do you get back in, it's, how do you get out altogether - how do you disconnect?   More like a needle than a knife.   Sure, you're a little bit crazy, crippled a little bit. That was a wicked crash, my friend. But look how well you walk.   More like a needle than a knife.   There by the river, you can listen to the crows. They've always got something to say. They make as much sense as anything else. Fly on, baby, fly.   (c) Kvaran/Beadle 2006
