212-Margarita

Most nights it just takes like a smile and a shake
I've been with the bodies
And I've been with the blood
And I went with Hallelujah, and she didn't say a thing
She just wiped at her nose and then she winked

And I've been with cops
And I've been with the squares
I went with Saint Deborah of Defeat and Depression
She put her hand up on my shoulder, and she just kinda stood there

Yeah, she said, "Call me 212-Margarita
Because I'm green, and I'm misleading, and I've had too much tequila"

And I've been with short tempers
And I get behind the sharp knives
I believe the shots in the distance to be cold hard facts
Ringing out against the radios and the speaker stacks
And I've been with the hood rats
And I've been with all the hangers-on
And I stayed out past dawn at some raunchy magazine launch
I hit the open bar and I got myself all turned on

Call me 612 bloody Mary
Because I'm nice, and she's spicy, and she smiles like sure shot at recovery

I said, "Call me 212-Margarita
Because I'm green, and I'm misleading, and I've had too much tequila"

Leave a message at the Motel six
And if you are feeling better
We can maybe get together if you even want to see me anymore
We'll be in town on a three-night stick
If you're really sick, maybe we could get some soup together
I know we've been sick before

And I believe in the bodies
And I believe in the blood
And I believe in salt along the rims of the glasses
'Cause that makes us thirsty
And when we drink, then we all fall in love

And I believe in the bodies
And I believe in the blood
I believe in salt along the rims of the glasses
'Cause that makes us thirsty
And when we drink, then we all fall in love
