cut you
lyrics and music by Penelope Houston


now your time has come
I’m going to cut you
like I should have done
a long time ago
your smooth skin will part
so sweet and so tender
and my lips are never, never far

now your time has come
I’m going to cut you off
long ago
a long time ago
just like the gold
gold and suckled curls
falling to the floor below

and with my little kitchen knife
I’ll make a little feast of you
but you’re so young, a little green
but soft and rotten at the core

and with my little kitchen knife
I’ll take a little taste of you
and carve the writing on the wall
I should have done this long before

now your time has come
I’m going to cut you off
like I should have done
a long time ago
your sweet flesh will split
so smooth and so tender
and my lips are never, never far

no, there is no choice for you
your time has come and soon
I’m going to cut you
like I should have done
a long, long ago
