212-Margarita

Some nights it just takes like a smile and shake

And I've been with the bodies

And I've met 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 met with the cops

And I've been with all the squares

And I went with Saint Deborah of defeat and depression

She put her hand up on my shoulder and then she just kinda stood there



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 knifes

I believed the shots in the distance to be cold hard facts

Ringing out against the radio and the speaker stacks

And I've been with the hoodrats

I've been with all the hangers-on

I stayed out 'till dawn at some raunchy magazine launch

I hit the open bar and I got myself all turned on, right



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

Let me now 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 can get some soup together

We've been sick together before



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



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
