la tonta

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
everybody knows that the war is over
everybody knows the good guys lost
everybody knows the fight was fixed
the poor stay poor, the rich get rich
that's how it goes
everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
everybody knows that the captain lied
everybody got this broken feeling
like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
everybody wants a box of chocolates
and a long stem rose
everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby
everybody knows that you really do
everybody knows that you've been faithful
ah give or take a night or two
everybody knows you've been discreet
but there were so many people you just had to meet
without your clothes
and everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
that's how it goes
everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
that's how it goes
everybody knows
And everybody knows that it's now or never
everybody knows that it's me or you
and everybody knows that you live forever
ah when you've done a line or two
everybody knows the deal is rotten
old black joe's still pickin' cotton
for your ribbons and bows
and everybody knows
And everybody knows that the plague is coming
everybody knows that it's moving fast
everybody knows that the naked man and woman
are just a shining artifact of the past
everybody knows the scene is dead
but there's gonna be a meter on your bed
that will disclose
what everybody knows
And everybody knows that you're in trouble
everybody knows what you've been through
from the bloody cross on top of calvary
to the beach of malibu
everybody knows it's coming apart
take one last look at this sacred heart
before it blows
and everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
that's how it goes
everybody knows
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
that's how it goes
everybody knows
Everybody knows

Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river
you can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night forever
and you know that she's half crazy and that's why you want to be there
and she feeds you tea and oranges that came all the way from china
and just when you want to tell her that you have no love to give her
she gets you on her wavelength and she lets the river answer
that you've always been her lover
chorus
and you want to travel with -her- and you want to travel blind
and you think you maybe trust -her- 'cause she's touched your perfect body
with -her- mind
and jesus was a sailor when he walked apon the water
and he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
and when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
he said all men shall be sailors then until the sea shall free them
but he himself was broken long before the sky would open
forsaken almost human he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
and you want to travel with -him-.../...'cause -he's-...
suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
she's wearing rags and feathers from salvation army counters
and the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor
and she shows you where to look amid the garbage and the flowers
there are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
they are leaning out for love and they'll lean that way forever
while suzanne holds her mirror
And you want to travel with -her-...
...'cause you've touched her perfect body with your mind

Now in vienna there are ten pretty women
there's a shoulder where death comes to cry
there's a lobby with nine hundred windows
there's a tree where the doves go to die
there's a piece that was torn from the morning,
and it hangs in the gallery of frost
ay, ay, ay, ay
take this waltz, take this waltz
take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws
i want you, i want you, i want you
on a chair with a dead magazine
in the cave at the tip of the lilly,
in some hallway where love's never been
on a bed where the moon has been sweating,
in a cry filled with footsteps and sand
ay, ay, ay, ay
take this waltz, take this waltz
take its broken waist in your hand
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
with its very own breath of brandy and death
dragging its tail in the sea
There's a concert hall in vienna
where your mouth had a thousand reviews
there's a bar where the boys have stopped talking
they've been sentenced to death by the blues
ah, but who is it climbs to your picture
with a garland of freshly cut tears?
ay, ay, ay, ay
take this waltz, take this waltz
take this waltz, it's been dying for years
There's an attic where children are playing,
where i've got to lie down with you soon,
in a dream of hungarian lanterns,
in the mist of some sweet afternoon
and i'll see what you've chained to your sorrow,
all your sheep and your lillies of snow
ay, ay, ay, ay
take this waltz, take this waltz
with its "i'll never forget you, you know!"
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
with its very own breath of brandy and death
dragging its tail in the sea
And i'll dance with you in vienna
i'll be wearing a river's disguise
the hyacinth wild on my shoulder,
my mouth on the dew of your thighs
and i'll bury my soul in a scrapbook,
with the photographs there, and the moss
and i'll yield to the flood of your beauty
my cheap violin and my cross
and you'll carry me down on your dancing
to the pools that you lift on your wrist
o my love, o my love
take this waltz, take this waltz
it's yours now. it's all that there is

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man
If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I'm your man

Ah, the moon's too bright
The chain's too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby
And I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please, please
I'm your man

And if you've got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I'm your man

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
