Joe's Head

Blistered, cracked and bleeding
Cold, no one should know
Rain falls down a freezin'
And stickin' like a snow

Lingering suspicions
Screamin' in my head
Lies all mixed up with omissions
Oh, welcome home again

It's too late for apologies
They're falling at my feet

"This is just the way of the world," Joe said
I had to put a bullet into his head
And then lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred
Well, he said, "Fred, I just killed a man"
I caught him layin' with my girlfriend
And now, they're both dead
People can be so cold when they're dead

Callin' all the neighbors
Time to make amends
Whiskey floods the table
Oh, good friends 'til the end

And they're makin' silly faces
And it's tastin' bittersweet

"This is just the way of the world," Joe said
I had to put a bullet into his head
And then lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred
Well, he said, "Fred, I just killed a man"
I caught him layin' with my girlfriend
And now, they're both dead
People can be so cold when they're dead

It's too late for apologies
They're falling at my feet

"This is just the way of the world," Joe said
I had to put a bullet into his head
And then lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred
Well, he said, "Fred, I just killed a man"
I caught him layin' with my girlfriend
And now, they're both dead
People can be so cold when they're dead

"This is just the way of the world," Joe said
I had to put a bullet into his head
And then lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred
Well, he said, "Fred, I just killed a man"
I caught him layin' with my girlfriend
And now, they're both dead
People can be so cold when they're dead
