"Joe's Head" lyrics

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

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

It's too late for apologies, they're fallin' at my feet

"This is just the way of the world," Joe said
"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 making silly faces and it's tastin' bittersweet

"This is just the way of the world," Joe said
"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 fallin' at my feet

"This is just the way of the world," Joe said
"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"

"A-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"
