the scarring party - after the war lyrics

Loading...

with a switchknife, he cut his lip
and gave me a rubella red kiss
his hands sway with my hips until we’re both too drunk to dance
i thought maybe in another life
i could have been the misfit’s wife
and when his ghost moves on, he’ll come back as a wild dog

one year later, he was gone
he never came back from the war
oh my my, never came back from the war

love is nothing you can hold or have
like a secret whispered in my hand
still i carry a piece of him
savеd all his letters in a reefer tin
kept a switch knife in my winter coat
and when i walk from the train alone
in the palm of my sweaty hand
i hold that knife and think of him

a few letters and his ghost
he never came back from the
he never came back from the war

stepped off the train into the evening air
the creak and clank platform the stairs
a stranger’s steps fell close behind
i felt a hand clasp my arm tight
i twisted out my switch knife
it caught the blare of the street lamp’s light
before i thrust it in that stranger’s throat
i heard a wild dog moan low

the warm kiss on my knife and wrist
it’s like you came back from the war
it’s like you came back from the war
