Hey mister can you tell me Is there a knife stuck in your face Have matchbook covers been your mirrors Do you feel your hand in your own pocket Hey mister do you count the shadows that fall before you Hey mister can you tell me Is there a knife stuck in your face Do you have the shivers underneath your skin Hey mister can you tell me Where it is you're going Hey mister you got the blues written over your face Looks like you're never going to be in your place The way you've been carrying on is a disgrace But you know it's the only way to be, yeah Now you can go and look in any corner And you can buy a ticket to a movie And you can walk out at night And you can buy your own groceries Hey mister can you tell me Is there a knife stuck in your face
