Wrong End Of a Knife

You've been shakin' hands with the wrong end of a knife
You've been shakin' hands with the wrong end of a knife

Oh, well you're holdin' on again too long
Oh, when your arms were open, you were terrorized, terrorized
Oh, you keep holding on, you keep holding on, for too long
Oh, when your heart's still open, close it up, close it up

You've been shaking hands with the wrong end of a knife
You've been shaking hands with the wrong end of a knife
Don't hold it tight, it's alright if I cut you with a knife
You've been shaking hands with the wrong end of a knife

Oh, oh, oh, walk away, walk away, walk away
Oh, walk away, walk away, walk away

Until that wave returns to
Roll you back to where you are made

Don't keep making plans that'll bury you in time
Oh, walk away, walk away, walk away
Don't keep makin' plans that'll bury you in the tire
Oh, walk away, walk away, walk away
