"Knife Fight" lyrics - ELBOW

I woke up thinking about the knife fight
I saw in Istanbul
The fellas left together laughing and bleeding
Oh, and the moon was full

It all happened in The Little Wing Cafe
It's easy to find
Just follow the sound of backwards guitars and screaming
And there you are
But why is it on my mind?

Is it 'cause we
Communicate disastrously
I want you, I love you, I need you
What's that supposed to mean?

We burn so very, very brightly
Scares me to death
Is this our Chandrasekhar limit
Oh, say it under your breath

Next time I drive you to distraction
Let's pack up a flask
And we'll park in the mist
By the yawning abyss
And list all of the stupid shit
We've ever said to each other and laugh

Even when we
Communicate disastrously
I want you, I love you, I need you
Yeah

Hallelujah, buy us a pint
Hallelujah, buy us a pint
Hallelujah, buy us a pint
Hallelujah, buy us a pint

Hallelujah, buy us a pint
Amen
