212-Margarita

From Theholdsteady

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

And I've been with the cops,
and I've been with all the squares,
and I went with St. Deborah of defeat and depression,
she put her hand up on my shoulder and then she just kinda stood there.
And she said, "Call me (212) margarita.
'Cause I'm green, and I'm misleading, and I've had too much tequila."

And I've been with short tempers,
I've been 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 hoodrats,
I've been with all the hangers on,
I stayed out 'til dawn at some raunchy magazine launch,
and I hit the open bar and got myself all turned on.
And now I'm calling (612) bloody mary.
'Cause she's nice, and she's spicy, and she's my only sure shot at recovery.

She said, "Call me (212) margarita.
'Cause I'm green, and I'm misleading, and I've had too much tequila.
Leave a message at the Motel 6,
and let me know if you still feel sick.
You know I'll be in town on a three night stick,
and maybe if you're feeling better then maybe we could get some soup together,
we've been sick together 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.
