Switchblade Lyrics by Incubus

HQ Live (Deluxe Edition)

2011

[Verse 1]
I keep getting attacked by the girl in the black hat, the girl in the black hat
I can't find any shade but I'll be suede as long as I got a switchblade
I keep getting the eye from the girl in the thigh highs, the girl in the thigh highs
Those irises of jade are built to persuade and they're swift like a switchblade

[Refrain]
Switchblade, switchblade
They're swift like a switchblade
Switchblade

[Pre-Chorus]
But nobody wears it like you anymore
Nobody wears it like you anymore

[Chorus]
Light like a feather, bright like a dying star
Cut those together, girl, that is what you are
Wild eyes forever, built to punish and persuade
I'd like to get her, but all I got was a switchblade
A switchblade

[Verse 2]
So just give me the facts, who's the girl in the black hat, the girl in the black hat?
I can't find any shade but I'll be suede as long as I got a switchblade
Think I'm getting a rise on her American thighs, her American thighs
She's got her black hat and irises of jade and I got a switchblade

[Refrain]
Switchblade
Yes, I've got a switchblade
C'mon

[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody wears it like you anymore
Nobody wears it like you anymore

[Chorus]
Light like a feather, bright like a dying star
Cut those together, girl, that is what you are
Wild eyes forever, built to punish and persuade
I'd like to get her, but all I got was a switchblade
A switchblade

[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody wears it like you anymore
Nobody wears it like you

[Verse 3]
I keep getting attacked by the girl in the black hat, the girl in the black hat
I can't find any shade but I'll be suede as long as I got a switchblade

[Chorus 2]
Light like a feather, bright like a dying star
Cut those together, girl, that is what you are
Wild eyes forever, built to punish and persuade
I'd like to get her, but all I got was a switchblade
A switchblade

[Outro]
Light like a feather, bright like a dying star
Cut those together, girl, that is what you are
Wild eyes forever, built to…
