[words, music: D. Snider]
A glint of steel, a flash of light
You know you're not going home tonight
Be it jack or
switch, doctor's or mind
Nowhere to run, everywhere you'll find
You can't escape from the bed you've made
When your time has
come, you'll accept the blade!
You're cornered in the alley way, you know you're all alone
You know it's gonna end this way, the
chill goes to the bone
Now here it comes that glistening light, it goes into your side
Blackness comes, tonight's the night, blade
is gonna ride
[CHORUS:]
Cause you're under the blade
Oh, you're under the blade
It's not another party head, this
time you cannot rise
Your hands are tied, your legs are strapped, a light shines in your eye
You faintly see a razor's edge, you
open your mouth to cry
You know you can't, it's over now, blade is gonna ride
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[Solo - Jay Jay]
A
glint of steel, a flash of light
You know you're not going home tonight
Be it jack or switch, doctor's or mind
There nowhere to
run, everywhere you'll find
You can't escape from the bed you've made
When your time has come, you'll accept the
blade!
You've tried to make it to the front, now you're pinned against the side
A monster stands before you now, its mouth is
open wide
The lights go on, the night explodes, it tears into your mind
When the night does end, you'll come again, the blade is
gonna ride
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Here it comes, baby
Ow!
Now you're under it
You're going down, down, down, down,
down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down
Hey!
Ow!
