Joe's Head lyrics

Blistered cracked and bleeding

Cold no one should know

Rain falls down a freezing

And sticking like a snow

Lingering suspicions

Screaming in my head

Lies all mixed up with omissions

Aw 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

Then lit up a cigarette

Decided to call his fat friend Fred

Well he said Fred I just killed a man

Caught him laying with my girlfriend

Now they're both dead, people can be so cold when they're dead

Calling all the neighbors

Time to make amends

Whiskey floods the table

Aw good friends 'til the end

They're making silly faces and it's tasting bitter sweet

This is just the way of the world Joe said

I had to put a bullet into his head

Then lit up a cigarette

Decided to call his fat friend Fred

Well he said Fred I just killed a man

Caught him laying with my girlfriend

Now they're both dead, people can be so cold when they're dead
