Everybody knows..
I've been listening to a lot of Leonard Cohen lately. This scene from the movie Exotica is what made me a fan of his music. The actress is Mia Kirshner, and of course the movie made me a fan of hers as well. Always loved the lyrics to this song.. "Everybody Knows"...
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 Thats 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 youve been faithful Ah give or take a night or two Everybody knows youve been discreet But there were so many people you just had to meet Without your clothes And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows Thats how it goes Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows Thats how it goes Everybody knows
And everybody knows that its now or never Everybody knows that its 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 its 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 theres gonna be a meter on your bed That will disclose What everybody knows
And everybody knows that youre in trouble Everybody knows what youve been through From the bloody cross on top of calvary To the beach of malibu Everybody knows its coming apart Take one last look at this sacred heart Before it blows And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows Thats how it goes Everybody knows
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows Thats how it goes Everybody knows
