Knife Thrower - Charming Disaster

The ritual’s the same

Almost every night

You strap me to the board

And pull the blindfold tight

I know you’re there

So I know it’s gonna be all right

As I start to spin

I feel my heart ignite

I weigh the heavy blades

Before I let them fly

They find their marks like homing pigeons

Winging through the sky

And when we’re on the stage

You are the apple of my eye

My loveliest of lovely assistants

As I throw the knives

No one lives forever

In this spinning carnival

Most don’t live at all

If we stay together

We can save us from ourselves

Or else we’re bound to fall

I know sometimes the blades

Will gently brush your side

The audience will gasp

And their eyes go wide

Without this touch

I know I cannot survive

This kiss from me to you

And the air’s electrified

Lying on my back

I look into the sky

Is that a shooting star

Or a lonely satellite

Or is the earth moving

Beneath the night?

As it starts to spin

I feel my heart ignite

As it starts to spin

I feel my heart ignite

As it starts to spin

I feel my heart ignite

As it starts to spin

I feel my heart ignite

As it starts to spin

I feel my heart ignite

We both know the secret

There is no greater thrill

Than chasing a close call

If we stay together

We can keep each other safe

When we risk it all

As I start to spin

I feel my heart ignite

As I start to spin

I feel my heart ignite

As I start to spin

I feel my heart ignite

As I start to spin

I feel my heart ignite
