Everybody Knows

Everybody knows the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows that the good guys lost
Everybody knows that the fight is fixed
The poor stay poor and the rich get rich
That's how it goes

Everybody knows the boat is sinking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody's got this broken feeling
Like their momma or their dog just died
Everybody's hands are in their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
And everybody knows
(repeat)

Everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
Everybody knows that you live forever
When ya had a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old black Joe still pickin' cotten
For your ribbons and bows

Everybody knows you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been descreet
So many people you had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's the way it goes
Everybody knows
(repeat until end)



Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)

There's a crack in the mirror
and a bloodstain on the bed-
there's a crack in the mirror
and a bloodstain on the bed-
O you were a vampire and baby
I'm walking dead
O you were a vampire and baby
I'm walking dead

Chorus:
I got the ways and means
to New Orleans I'm going
down by the river
where it's warm and green
I'm gonna have a drink, and walk around
I got a lot to think about oh yeah

There's a rocking chair by the window
down the hall
I hear something in the shadow
down the hall
O you where a vampire and now I am
nothing at all
O you where a vampire and now I am
nothing at all

(Chorus)

They used to dance in the garden in the
middle of the night
They used to dance in the garden in the
middle of the night

They were naked as the day they were
born skin all bone-china white
O you were a vampire
and I may never see the light

(Chorus)


I Don't Need A Hero

You always said I was a liar
but we burn like a house on fire...
no matter what, you know that to be true
and everything you gave to me
changed everything I used to be
much more than anyone I ever knew

Chorus:
and I don't need a hero
I don't need a soldier
I did when I was younger-
but now that I'm older
I don't need a father
I don't wanna be your mother
it's just that anyone of us is half
without another one is you

The colors of that piece of time
and still so fresh inside my mind
and it makes the movie
of my like seem pale-
and all the games I have to play
I got to give a lot of me away
but the part with us
will never be for sale

(Chorus)

The words of love have been confused
the ways of love have been abused-
is this a lottery you win or lose?
I don't know-
It's a endless circle over time
the place inside where I hold and find
your sweet and happy music in my soul


Mexican Moon

Oh, amigo
Here we do things slow
Money, art, a broken heart
Where did you want to go
Senor, por favor
to the hotel, Zona Rosa
What did I come here for

Oh, senor
I run but the damage has been done
Miles have gone away
And my amore he never come

I look up at the sky
I am tired and dry
Uno Tecate and lime.
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moon
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moon

Senor, you are wise
I can see a million years
A million tears behind your eyes
Take me home
Take me to the Zona Rosa
Mariachis and tequila
I will dance the night alone

Just some time
Just a little kiss of mine
Take me where I can forget, senor
You are so very kind

I look up at the sky
I am tired and dry
Dos Tecate and lime
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moon
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moon

I look up at the sky
I will try not to cry
Tres Tecate and lime
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moon
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moon
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moon
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moon

Joey

Joey, baby - don't get crazy
Detours, fences...I get defensive

I know you've heard it all before
So I don't say it anymore
I just stand by and let you
Fight your secret war
And though I used to wonder why
I used to cry till I was dry
Still sometimes I get a strange pain inside
Oh, Joey, if you're hurting so am I

Joey, honey - I got some money
All is forgiven. Listen, listen

But if I seem to be confused
I didn't mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you
Well I guess you scared me too
But we got lucky once before
And I don't want to close the door
And if you're somewhere out there
Passed out on the floor
Oh Joey, I'm not angry anymore

And if I seem to be confused
I didn't mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you
Well I guess you scared me too
But if it's love you're looking for
Then I can give a little more
And if you're somewhere drunk and
Passed out on the floor
Oh Joey, I'm not angry anymore
Angry anymore, angry anymore
