lyrics

Everybody Knows

Wakes with a smile
In disbelief
Her taste
Still on his teeth
Her side of the bed is as cold as her heart

Harry sits up
Lets out a groan
Calls her up
But no-one's home
Seems Kimberly's back in denial again

Everybody knows
All the friendly smiles are just for show
No-one really wants to say hello
But everybody knows

Everybody lies
Making up the story of their lives
Papering the cracks and sharpening knives
Everybody lies

Wakes with a sigh
His wife's asleep
Her face
Could make him weep
Monotony's left them as dry as a bone

Irving gets up
For pity's sake
Patiently waits
Until she breaks
Poor Francis is coming apart at the seams

Everybody knows
All the friendly smiles are just for show
No-one really wants to say hello
But everybody knows

Everybody lies
Making up the story of their lives
Papering the cracks and sharpening knives
Everybody lies

Knowing looks and furtive glances
Patched-up hearts and worn-out dreams
Forlorn hopes and failed romances
Nothing is quite what it seems
