Lyrics

Cutthroat (Cut The Rope)

You dream they bore you

Might be seasick from a shore that it is more to

Cut the rope, cut the rope

It's cutthroat out there

Cut the rope, cut the rope

Cut the rope, cut the rope

It's cutthroat out there

Cut the rope, cut the rope

I came to touch my own will

Tied inside of my own hell

'Cause you can't get away, you can't get away

You tried so hard when we played

You can't get away, no, you can't get away

You tried so hard when we played

I came away from the rail

I reared away to the end

You can't get away, you can't get away

You tried so hard when we played

You can't get away, no, you can't get away

You tried so hard when we played
