Where did he come from?
And how did he get behind
With that knife?

Bastard changed his jacket (Ed Hardy)
Looked the same age as my girl (safely home)
Stuck the knife in my rib cage (damn it hurt)
Red ribbons on the ground

Where did he come from?
And how did he get behind
With that knife?

Where did he come from?
And how did he get behind
With that knife?

I wanna look up at the stars now
But the smog it clouds the night
And my last vision of the stars now
Is a neon light
