Lyrics Twist the Knife - The Golden Palominos

Twist the Knife

Here it is morning again life unstoppable
I’d open my eyes if it were still possible
Just tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
There were days when I thought we could
Don’t know why that was, when no one does
There were days when I did not dream
We could hurt this way but two can play
Twist the knife, twist the knife
Twist the knife, twist the knife
Over and over and over and over
And over and over
Over and over and over and over
And over and over
It was in your voice, it was in your eyes
It was in your body, it was in the room
I could always feel it, it wrote my dreams
It stole my peace, it robbed my sleep
Here it is 3 a.m. and I’m still wide awake
I think in circles and circles are hard to break
Just tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Trust contains the seed of betrayal
But also of something higher beyond the fire
You’re not the exception, it’s the rule
You know any fool can just give it away
Can just give it away, just give it away
Twist the knife, twist the knife
Over and over and over and over
And over and over
Over and over and over and over
And over and over
It was in your voice, it was in your eyes
It was in your body, it was in the room
I could always feel it, it wrote my dreams
It stole my peace, it robbed my sleep
Some things are fragile and some irresistible
Some things are easy and some irreplaceable
Just tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
There were days when time could have stopped
When it was enough to be in your love
There were days but those days were gone
Those days were gone, those days were gone
Twist the knife, twist the knife
Twist the knife, twist the knife
Over and over and over and over
And over and over
Over and over and over and over
And over and over
