Huge Shark - Edge of a Knife

lyrics

He said,
"Step in to my car, little girl
I can take you far, little girl
You're gonna be a star..."

He had a contract and a pen;
I thought, I won't be here again.
I read the words on the page;
I flew into a rage,
and I destroyed him there and then.

It was the chance of my life in the shadow of the moon.
It was the edge of a knife on a sunny afternoon.

She said,
"I can show you beautiful things,
dress you up in furs, diamond rings,
Jimmy Choos and Dior."

And she had tickets to Berlin;
she had champagne and sweet, sweet sin.
— She had a girl on the side —
No taking me for a ride!
I left her shaking in her skin.

It was the chance of my life in the shadow of the moon.
It was the edge of a knife on a sunny afternoon.

I say when opportunity knocks,
No matter what for —
Have a gun in your hand when you answer the door.

They said,
"It's the job you know that you need.
Don't you have a craving to feed?
We can get you more..."

It was the chance of my life in the shadow of the moon.
It was the edge of a knife on a sunny afternoon.
