Left in the Lurch Songtext
von Knives Out!

As our doom descends
Like a falling star
Knuckle white the wheel
Pull right
Crash the car
Bones shatter
Whiplashed and scattered

I am only wreckage now

In a million pieces
Torn limb for limb
A cinematic death scene

I am only wreckage now
Nothing but wreckage now


Left in the lurch
The love, hate, pleasure and pain
A slave to emotion
It′s enough to drive anyone insane
And now it appears
I was simply the last to know
The taste of betrayal,
Still my desire and hunger grows evermore for you

Even a stake through my heart driven by your idle hands
Couldn't keep me from Lusting and waiting you even more
Now a tight rope wrapped around my neck
Deja vu all over and over again
Out on a limb I see you watching me
Smiling

Left in the lurch
The love, hate, pleasure and pain
A slave to emotion
It′s enough to drive anyone insane
And now it appears
I was simply the last to know
The taste of betrayal,
Still my desire and hunger grows evermore for you

Every morning now, I avoid your eyes
Ghost locked in the same cage
Captive spirits, we haunt one another
Ghost locked in the same cage


Beaten black and blue, I hover over you
Now left neglected grey
Left without a trace

As our doom descends
Like a falling star
Knuckle white the wheel
Pull right
Crash the car
Glass bones shatter
Whiplashed and scattered

I am only wreckage now

Left in the lurch
The love, hate, pleasure and pain
A slave to emotion
It's enough to drive anyone insane

Left in the lurch
The love, hate, pleasure and pain
A slave to emotion
It's enough to drive anyone insane
And now it appears
I was simply the last to know The taste of
Betrayal, still my desire and hunger grows evermore for you

Every morning now, I avoid your eyes
Ghost locked in the same cage
Captive spirits, we haunt one another
Ghost locked in the same cage
