Comes the catacomb of tongues
Who can spit the meanest venom
From the poison of their lungs
Cruelest dance is the razor dance
Circle in and circle around
He said, she said, she said, he said
Thrill to put the other one down
The razor dance, the razor dance
This time, gone too far
This time, can't heal the scar
I want to break out of this spin
But gravity's pulling me in
The razor dance, the razor dance
What flies straighter than an arrow
What cuts deeper than a lance
Your wit may shine on the withering line
Cruelest dance is the razor dance
The razor dance, the razor dance
Blood boils, tears burn
Some people never learn
If time could crawl back in its shell
And mischievous tongues could untell
But that's not the meaning of Hell
Take your partners for the razor dance
Take your partners for the razor dance
Take your partners for the razor dance
The razor dance
The razor dance, the razor dance
After the death of a thousand kisses Comes the catacomb of tongues Who can spit the meanest venom From the poison of their lungs Cruelest dance is the razor dance Circle in and circle around He said, she said, she said, he said Thrill to put the other one down The razor dance, the razor dance This time, gone too far This time, can't heal the scar I want to break out of this spin But gravity's pulling me in The razor dance, the razor dance What flies straighter than an arrow What cuts deeper than a lance Your wit may shine on the withering line Cruelest dance is the razor dance The razor dance, the razor dance Blood boils, tears burn Some people never learn If time could crawl back in its shell And mischievous tongues could untell But that's not the meaning of Hell Take your partners for the razor dance Take your partners for the razor dance Take your partners for the razor dance The razor dance The razor dance, the razor dance Explain Request ×
