My pocket knife's gotta shiny blade
How the world slips by so fast
White material will stain
How did you feel when you were young?
And the bees keep humming
How does anybody last?
'Cos I feel like I've just been born
I'm not trying to cause a fuss
Flowers I can do without
I just wanna make my own fuck-ups
Mummy, put your needle down
I'm not trying to break your heart
As the world keeps coming
How does anybody learn?
Even though I'm getting on
I don't wanna be tied down
How the world just turns and turns
You can't make me be a wife
And I'll keep running
Can you see my pocket knife?
