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
