"Sharp Knife" lyrics

What's a boy like you doing in a place like this?
This ain't the Ritz
You better keep you wits about you
One wrong look is gonna get you ten left hooks
Go on and swallow your foot
Before they surround you

And he said, "I carry a sharp knife on my body
In case a fist fight turns to something more
Words get thrown like rice at a wedding
If I'm on the floor, then I'm reaching for my sharp knife."

Why is a girl like you walking home in the dark
Right through Central Park
Oh anything could happen
You are far too pretty to be walking alone in this city
Call you Joan of Arc dressed in black satin

And she said, "I carry a sharp knife on your body
In case a cool night turns to something cold
Men get bold when no one's looking
If he blocks the door, then I'm reaching for my sharp knife."

Oh fantasy never suited me
I can only speak to reality
It seems if you're a diamond in the dark
You're going to need to carry something sharp

So you carry a sharp knife on your body
In case something right goes wrong
You can't know you're sunk until you're sinking
On the ocean floor is where you keep your shark knife
That's where you keep your sharp knife
