lyrics

BRUSH LIKE A KNIFE

WELL SHE PICKS UP HER LOVER
AND SHE TAKES A TRIP TO HEAVEN
GIVES HERSELF A DOUCHE
AND IS BACK BY ELEVEN

THE LOVER IS AN ARTIST
HIS BRUSH IS LIKE A KNIFE
HE’S PAINTING HER NUDE
SHE’S SOMEONE ELSE’S WIFE

BRUSH LIKE A KNIFE
BRUSH LIKE A KNIFE

WELL THE JUDGE’S NAME IS DOBBS
HE’S CONSERVATIVE BY HEART
THAT’S WHY HE MARRIED MARY
SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL AND SMART

HE HAS SENTENCED 30 MEN
ONE OF THEM TO DIE
AND HE’S THINKING ABOUT THE WEEKEND
AND MARY’S APPLE PIE

BRUSH LIKE A KNIFE
BRUSH LIKE A KNIFE

WELL THE PAINTER DIALS A NUMBER
TO HIS FIANCEE IN PARIS
SAYS HE’LL BE GONE A FEW MORE WEEKS
THOUGH HE CAN HARDLY BEAR IT

BUT AN ARTIST TAKES HIS TIME
WHEN HIS BRUSH IS LIKE A KNIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO DO IT JUSTICE
WHEN YOU PAINT A JUDGE’S WIFE

BRUSH LIKE A KNIFE
BRUSH LIKE A KNIFE
