Knives Out - Radiohead

Album: Amnesiac

genre: Alternative Rock
I want you to know
He’s not coming back
Look into my eyes
I’m not coming back

So knives out
Catch the mouse
Don’t look down
Shove it in your mouth

If you’d been a dog
They would’ve drowned you at birth

Look into my eyes
It’s the only way you’ll know I’m telling the truth

So knives out
Cook him up
Squash his head
Put him in the pot

I want you to know
He’s not coming back
He’s bloated and frozen
Still there’s no point in letting it go to waste

So knives out
Catch the mouse
Squash his head
Put him in the pot

Thom Yorke: "It's partly the idea of the businessman walking out on his wife and kids and never coming back."
